How greatly sorry am I for your loss. I grew up knowing Bertha, her parents and family, and they were all such caring people. I would stand next door and talk at times about many different things. May your memories keep you warm and make you smile. My prayers go out to you and yours. God's Blessings to all. MY LOVE, Linda Fontaine and Family

My name is Derek and I am Melissa Bender's boyfriend of five and a half years. Throughout those years, I've had the honor of getting to know Baba and the rest of Melissa's Father's family. This family is probably the nicest, most wonderful group that I've had the pleasure to be a part of.
Baba brought and developed so many wonderful people into this world that have become such a huge part of my life.
My condolences and heartfelt thoughts to the family through this time. Love in...
