I have read the words left by love ones regarding butterflies.

And of the Butterfly. Born of life's ending, promised from the beginning.

To Leona, Debra, Lori, Dede, Danny & Kevin and to Bert's new life. We will all fly and have a new beginning one day. Until then, cherish your memories. Write them down to share with the next generation so he is not forgotten. And know that he is within all of you.

Dear Leona and family,
Sorry to hear of the passing of Bert. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Bert was one of the "boys" at our wedding.

It's been too long since we enjoyed your company Bert. Someday the separation will be over and we'll be enjoying each other’s company once more. Jerry and I have always been friends with Bert even way back when Jerry and Bert were just boys.

We celebrated many events as friends from our marriages to the births of our children. Bert brought three beautiful girls into our family Debbie, Lori and Dee Dee. Leona and Bert then rounded out their family with two handsome boys, Danny...

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~Author Unknown

we all packed

If tears could build a stairway

I f tears could build a stairway….. and memories were a lane…. we would walk right up to heaven…. and bring you back again... no farewell words were spoken… no time to say goodbye …you were gone before we knew it… And only God knows why…our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow…what it meant to lose you…no one can really know…but now we know you want us to mourn you no more… to remember all the happy times life’s still has more in...
