• I have many fond memories of Gertrud- many things she said and believed have stayed with me all these years. Our years together at Stifft's will stay with me forever. I still carry a beautiful simple silk evening bag that Gertrud gave me years ago-I treasure it! I lost my mother last year and one of my 2 sisters(Demaris) in August- it hurts terribly but we somehow get through. Love to both David and Mary Louise- I'm thinking of you.

• Dear Mary Louise and David, I was so sorry to read in the paper that you lost your mother. I can't tell you how often I think of her. A day didn't pass when we worked together that you weren't in her thoughts. How she loved you and your father. "My David , My Mary Louise and My Henry." I missed her after I left Stifft's. My warmest thoughts and deepest condolences are with you. She was a fascinating and fun person to know.
