So sorry to hear of the loss of our very special friend, Bert Sommers. We always enjoyed camping with her and Stan at the Swiss Wheelers campground and at various OSA and FCRV campouts. They were a fun couple and I'm sure she and Stan will enjoy being together again in God's heavenly campground. Our condolences to her sister Sandy and husband Chuck Kutz.
