From the Village of Holiday Lakes publication Voice for March 2014:

Gert Netz and her family would like to thank the many friends and neighbors for their kindness during her daughter, Joyce Peterson's, illness and passing. 

A very special Thank You goes to the girls on Ratan for driving Joyce to the doctor appointments, walking her dog, Holly, preparing food, and helping with the house.

We would like to thank the many friends and neighbors that attended the church service and burial. Thanks also to Kathy Amelia for organizing the luncheon at the clubhouse, and all those who prepared the wonderful food.
 

Gert thanks her daughter Jeannie and granddaughter, Sandra, for the care they gave Joyce in her final days, and to her son, Ed, for getting out of town relatives to and from the airport.
