To my dearest family,
It is with deep regret that We cannot be there with you at this time of Mrs Bert's passing. The memories go way back to my younger years, some laughter,
some saddness and alot of love. Stay encouraged in the God of our understanding that he is always with us, never to leave us. He promised us a good plan for our lives and not a evil one to give us a future and hope.
Prayerfully Yours,
Connie Faye
