Bert was both beautiful inside as she was outside. I lost a very dear friend when she passed away and I will never forget her and thank the good Lord for giving her to us to share the last years of her life with us.

Having grown up across the street from the Nessly family, Bert was one of the neighborhood moms that played an important part in my life. I have many good memories from my childhood of spending time with Will, Bert, Bill, Mike, and Mary. Sending my condolences from Montana. I will be thinking of all of you on Monday as you celebrate your mother's life!

Sorry for your loss I have fond memories of growing up across the street in View Ridge. Unfortunately I am out of town on the 20th.
