Sarah, I was sorry to hear of your sisters passing. May you find comfort in knowing that god makes no mistakes, he brought you to it and he will see you through. Cherrish the memories that you shared for weeping will endure for an evening, but joy come in the morning.

Alberta (Berta) was such a warm, caring, and wonderful lady. She would do anything for anyone at anytime. I can remember when I was a little boy and I would pick blackberries for her. She would always try to give me two dollars but I would never take it because I was a kid and what kid didn't like blackberry cobbler! That cobbler was filled with love! Everything she did was filled with love. From cooking, to cleaning, or caring for her dogs, it didn't matter because that's the type of person she was. Berta I will miss you dearly. From your warm smile down to your laughter during the time we spent together. May "GOD" be with our family in our time of grievance and "GOD" bless us all!!!
