Gisela and I met when we were in Bible Study Fellowship. She was in my discussion group in 2005. We became close friends because of our German heritage. After she met my husband, we enjoyed having lunch together at Baywood a few times over the years. She would share during our phone conversations how much she loved the animals that would come and visit her and she named them all, especially the feral cats. She fed them and didn't want any of them to suffer. Her husband Bill even brought one home that was just a tiny kitten, Samantha. Once when I was over she even hand fed a raccoon a hot dog from her hand.
We loved her and will miss her. May God's peace be with her and her family.
We first met Gisela when I was a co-worker at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware with her and Bill. Later, she was an active member of Groome United Methodist Church in Lewes when I was the pastor there. Our friendship continued by many phone calls until recently. We will surely miss hearing her voice.
Her Friends,
Rev. Bill and Cathy Hopkins
Seattle, Washington
Till we meet again Gis. Will surely miss you.
Barbie and "Hero boy".
RIP Gisela. Ron & Pam Hopkins
