Dear Uncle Stas & family,
It is very sad to hear about Aunt Bertha. I was fortunate to be living right next door, while I was growing up. I will always remember her, & she will be forever in my heart. Just wanted to let you all know that I am thinking of you, & sorry the distance keeps me from being there at this sad time. Love, Susie & family

We are so saddened to hear of Aunt Bertha's passing. Aunt Bertha was always one of my favorites -- such a spitfire, and one the kindest human beings I have ever known. She was always willing to tell a story when I asked about the "old days," always willing to have you come in for a cup of coffee and visit on the rare occasions when we visited Buffalo in the summertime, and always wore a smile ... a beautiful smile. We send her family our prayers for strength and courage at this difficult time; sorry that we cannot be there with you. Aunt Bertha will always be very much missed, but very fondly remembered for our lifetimes. With Love, Jackie and Ken

Aunt Bertha was a beautiful lady both inside and out. We are surely blessed to have had her in our lives. So sorry that a medical situation keeps us from being with you at this sad time.
