Remembering Gertrude Warkentin through stories and poems

Share your story of Gertrude or how she inspired you!

As we mourn the loss of this incredible woman we want to share stories of her and hear how she impacted others.  She was an engaging storyteller and poet so we hope to honor her by holding our own "concert" where anyone who wishes can share.   

All stories, poems, songs, including those written by Gert herself are welcome!

Not sure what to say?  Here are some prompts to get the memories flowing.  You can leave a comment, anecdote or story at the bottom of that page indefinitely so keep checking back to see what people wrote.
