Dear Family,
Please be assured that our prayers are with the family at this time of loss. May the Lord give you His compfort and peace(Psalm 62:1 "My soul waits in silence for God only; from Him is my salvation"). I only met Aunt Ida on one occasion. It was a brief visit in her Reading home. She was very gracious and we had a nice conversation. I sincerely regret not having the opportunity to know the Gundrum side of my family. Please feel free to call upon me if I can ever assist you in any manner. May the Lord’s love surround you.
In Christ’s Love, Rev. David E. and Donna Gundrum
My family and I have many wonderful memories of both Ida and Charlie. First my mother and late father started out as next door neighbors, then my sister Donna and I grew up with both of them as our neighbors. Plus my two sons then grew up with Ida as their neighbor. They were both wonderful, kind, considerate friends and neighbors to my whole family over many years. My mother Jeannette, my sister, myself and both of my sons, Damon and Dustin would like to express our deepest sympathy to everyone in the family.
