I may be doing this the wrong way, but, Thank everyone for everything that you did for my family. I am a grand-daughter of Bertha Adams, and I got to know her, respect her, honor her, and deeply love her. She was a very strong person, and did a good job whipping us grandkids into shape. She lived a great life, and we all will miss her, but we know that she is in each and every one of us. Each thought of grandma that we have, each feeling that we feel, will always bring a big smile on our faces. We love you, always. Get Heaven ready for us.

( With Love Today )

We thought of you with love
today,But this is nothing new,
We thougt of you Yesterday and days before that too.

We think of you in silence and often speak your name.
All we have now are memories, and your picture in a frame.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone.
A part of us went with you the day God took you home.
