Bert was a wonderful, special, one of a kind person who successfully fought for my son Jesse after he was catastrophically injured when he was hit by a car in 1995. He gave me strength and courage when my world was turned upside down and full of fear! To this day, I feel a renewed strength every time I think of him!!! You are my hero!
Thank you Bert!! xoxo
