It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. I don't remember when I didn't know Bertie. He and my brother George and the other fellows used to loved to sing on the street corners or where ever they were back in the day. With loving memories,

Family of Bertie,
May God continue to bless each of you at this time. Although you loved him, but God loved him best.
Bertie has made the transition that we all must make, and that's "From Earth to Glory".
May God wrap his arms around each of you and cover you in the precious blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
