Gerda, 5th of 8 children,  was born in the Netherlands and together with her husband and 4 children came to Canada and worked hard to achieve a good life in Canada.  Gerda spent many years making tiffany lights, worked as a crossing guard and also provided home daycare.  Gerda loved to travel and brought joy to all our trips across North America. Gerda loved spending time with her family, having long conversations, and telling jokes. Gerda has brought so much love and joy to our family and will be missed.
