JANET GEHRKE

Lu and family, I can't, express how much we will miss Janet G! She was a gracious and loving woman. The only time she ever got the least bit feisty was when I made her oatmeal wrong...needless to say I never made that mistake again! Janet was always motivated, to do whatever she could while at Oakridge. Even though she had her limitations, she pushed herself to participate in any rehab she could and enjoyed being around her peers. She made many special friends and they do miss her dearly, but they know she is at peace. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences to you all. It was a honor to take care of Janet, thank you for letting us be a part of her very impressive life.

Jim, John, & Luann, so sorry for your loss but be thankful that Ma Gerhke is back with the love of her life. I always enjoyed stopping by Adela Beach to see her when I started working with Jim years ago.  My condolences and prayers to you all and your families. 

We had the honor of knowing Janet for many decades, both at Kimberly-Clark, and through our deep friendship with LuAnn. Janet was a classy lady with a terrific sense of humor, and we had a lot of laughs over the years. She lived life to it's fullest and she inspired that same ambition in everyone around her. We'll miss you Janet, and our thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. Much love, Chris and Terry

Dear LuAnn and family, we want to offer our sincere condolences and prayers. Both Joy and I have lost parents, and understand its a loss you learn to live with, but it never quite goes away. Hugs from our family to yours.

Luann and family. We are so, so sorry for the loss of your mother and grandmother. I remember well your mother always being there and ready to assist our sales people. She was a saint with unbelievable patience in dealing with impatient sales people. May the peace of our Lord and the many memories from a life well lived give you peace as you go through these difficult times. Ed & Becky Schumacher
