Dearest Bob and family,
Bertha was such a lovely woman who lived her life playing a supporting role so everyone else could shine. She was absolutely devoted to her family. She did not have a mean spirited bone in her body.
Bertha made the best prime rib on the face the earth!
May you all find peace in the memories of the love she felt for you all and in the rock solid base she made for you all.
Fondly,
Ronnie Rephan
