Our love and Prayers to All,
Just her smile alone would light up the room. That beautiful solid white color hair was brilliant. She always dress so perfect and conversation with her although not lengthy, she had genuine concern for others. We were truly blessed to know her. May loving thoughts of her live in all of you, her children, grandchildren and great granchildren that will comfort always.

Cousin Bertha was truly one in a million, and I can confidently say that without her tampering with the forces of nature I wouldn't be here today, since she introduced my Dad to my Mom. Jill and I will always fondly remember her.
