I, too, am saddened by the death of Gerry. She was a beautiful woman and I always said she was one of the prettiest women ever in Subiaco. She was a good Christian woman and that reflects in that she and Mr Paul raised a great family of hard working and caring children. She was an awesome mother-in- law to my step- daughter. I’m gonna miss knowing she is no longer at her home as I pass there daily. Prayers of peace and comfort go out to her family.

To the Schluterman Family,
I have always thought Mrs. Schluterman was one of the prettiest ladies in Subiaco. Apparently her beauty was surpassed by her strength, determination and will to live. She leaves behind an amazing legacy in her children, grandchildren, their spouses, great-grandchildren and those yet to come. I am truly sorry for your loss but I am convinced she is resting in the presence of our Lord. Love, Celeste
I am so sorry for your entire family's loss. She was such a sweet and inspiring woman. I will never forget the day she stood at Clifford's grave with me talking to me about asking God why, she totally got me and knew exactly what I was going through and helped me understand so much. I will never forget her and her kindness and understanding she showed me. To know Aunt Gerry was to love her, her smile, her sweetness, I know everyone that knew her and loved her will miss her so much. I just pray that God blesses you all and helps you through this difficult time by wrapping you all in his arms and comforting you the way your mom did me. Love you all! Rest in Peace Aunt Gerry!
I am so sorry for your loss, all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
