Bertha: Congratulations on your matriculation into the relm of eternal life. Your flesh has returned to ashes and eventually dust and I can't touch it anymore. But I can feel your ever present, welcoming, jolly spirit & Love. Spirital love is by far the most potent for it never dies. I am one who knows your spirit is forever with us, more now than ever before. If their is one thing I can share with your loved ones and friends it's just that. Always in our hearts, souls, and minds. And always walking and talking with us. So I give you this time and space to spread your wings and fly like you never have before. Fore now you are truly free to be with us all, as often as you and we want. So fly like an Eagle. I know you will watch over us all with an Eagles eye, although you are an Angel. That just shows how much you have always cared & shared. Love You!
