I first met Bertha in 1960 at Fircrest School where she became my supervisor. In the years following we became good friends and with others at Fircrest shared many good times together.She was always upbeat and treated everyone with respect.She will be missed not only by her loving family, but by everyone who knew her. It was not only a pleasure to have worked side by side with Bertha, bit moreover to call her my friend.
