I don't know how many times she has taken in seniors when they are no longer able to stay in their own home, and let them stay - without asking ANYTHING from them, until they were able to go back home, or had another place to go. We don't talk often. We now live hundreds of miles away. But she is still my favorite person in the world. And yes, this unassuming woman is my personal hero. I love you Gertie. You're good people!

Thought about what I'd written, so I called Gertie how I felt. Why should we just tell strangers who are heros are?
