    I met Ms. Bailey about 10 years ago while visiting family in Garden Valley. She was married to my cousin J. Davis. She was a very hospitably person and I was with her daughter Shirley and didn't know it. I have a large family J. was the son of my great grandfather Emmitt Gouch Sr. (1890 - 1933) The bible gives the hope of the resurrection at John 5:28. I look forward to seeing Gertrude again.

    Don't think of her as gone away, her journey's just begun, life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched for nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much. With deepest sympathy..
