Derek and Sheri,
We were so sorry to hear the news of your moms passing. We have fond memories of her and my mom finding friendship and sharing stories at Dublin Castle on our trip to Ireland. My mom who passed away in August 2019, spoke fondly and often of Mrs. Connolly over the years. She never forgot her. Hopefully they will meet again. Our hearts go out to you all at this time, especially with the world as it is right now Love, Bev, Richard and

Hi
I just wanted to send condolences to you from Paul, Kimm, Mackenzie and Michael Byrne . I have many great memories of Aunt Gert that I will always remember. One of my favourites is when Mackenzie was around 2 or 3 and she met Aunt Gert she thought it was her Nan Byrne.
From that point on she was called Nan Gert by Mackenzie.
Aunt Gert was always so kind and caring and I will always remember that.

Please accept our Heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your Mom. To us she was our "Aunt Gert," And we dearly loved her! She was very much a part of our family life from the time she began her career as a teacher in St. John's to making our regular visits around the Bay every weekend of our childhood years. The cookies always came out of the pantry and her sons were always so much fun. I have a lot of memories of Aunt Gert taking me shopping up and down the stores of Water Street, feeling so proud to be with my Aunt and to be given so much attention. And not once did she ever let go of my hand!! I was also the flower girl at Aunt Gert's wedding. She was such a fun and beautiful bride!! She always had such an eye for fashion. Secretly. I wanted to be just like her! Aunt Gert was also very much respected and loved by our parents, needless to say, we have many stories to share and memories to hold deep in our hearts forever. We will definitely plant a tree in memory of Aunt Gert because like a tree she was deeply rooted in her family life raising her four sons and working diligently in her own quiet manner! And like the many branches on a tree we will never know how many hearts Aunt Gert had touched!
