Friends, family, we are gathered here today to solemnly remember the passing of my wonderful mother, Gertrude Anna Bonhoffer. Words can hardly express the depth of emotion that springs forth from my soul in remembering the best memories we all shared with her before her passing.
Why, it was only a few weeks ago she told me the story of when her parents had her baptized at Sea World at age nine. What a blessed day that had been for her. In a surely divine moment, the whales leapt out of their tanks and sang "We are Family" when they saw her dip into the water. Even then, at so young an age Momma touched the hearts of everyone around her. She was so fortunate some people even joked she was born with a silver shovel in her mouth.
