I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom and I worked together at Kerr we were on the same quality contol team she was great to work with and very good at her job. Even though sometimes she would shout out in German if things went wrong. She was a beautiful woman and a great co worker and friend. Rip Gissle hope to see you again one day.

We are so sorry to see this post about Gisela’s passing. We were just getting to know her a few years ago at the beach where we both had camp sites. I also became friends with Jackie. We did not see her after our first meeting. I always asked Jackie about her. We really missed seeing her again. Our Condolences to her family RIP friend. 🙏
