God bless you.

I was so very sorry to hear of Berts' passing. She was a great lady with a wonderful sense of humor. She was a hard worker. I got to know her good during the 50th anvi of Granby and work with her. Both my Husband and I send our prayers. I know she will truly be missed. Hal and Susan Raines Story- Class of '67 GHS
