A great loss....

Many of you may have heard the terrible news that we lost our friend, Gerda, yesterday. It was such a shock to hear -- I guess I never expected she would ever let anything get her down, especially some nasty germ from within. She was always so upbeat and positive about life, her family, and her hobbies. Gerda was so compassionate and giving of her time and resources to others less fortunate. She truly earned her nickname, "Marian the Librarian" with all the wonderful sites and tutorials she found on the Internet for us to
enjoy. She was a great internet friend and mentor, sharing her wisdom and skills with us all. She will be greatly missed by all her Groups--Block Central, Scrappy & Happy, the Quilted Table, Quilt & Needle, Seasons, and other groups she belonged to.

Rest in peace, Gerda, and know that so many people are hurting with your loss.
