You were one of the only people who knew my heart. You always understood me and were there for me even though we lived far apart. I am forever sad that my children will not get to know you as I did. Please say hello to my dad when you get to heaven.

I'm sorry for your loss. Mrs. Gunter was possibly one of the kindest, most pure souls I've ever met. 'She will be missed', is an understatement.

She was a true sweetheart. I enjoyed going to the Veterans Home and helping hand out gifts with the Nursing Home gift Fund there. I enjoyed seeing her love for the Veterans and for everyone. She had a heart of good. She treated everyone as if they were family. An inspiration of kindness and a great Christian lady that will be missed by so many.
