Bertha Thelma Cieslikowski

Bertha was a valued member & a true gem of the Rancho Mirage Woman's Club. She always made you feel good for having talked with her! She was SO good about taking pictures of everyone and then giving them the prints the next month. We all loved her dearly.
I feel so blessed to have known Bertha and now to meet her family at the services yesterday. You are truly a warm and wonderful family - all living & reflecting Bertha's warmth & goodness. And you are such a fun family too!! It was...

I have such wonderful, wonderful, wonderful memories of Aunt Bertha visiting us in Toledo for family events. She was always the "young great aunt". She will be missed, but not forgotten.

Dear Zeny,
You were blessed in this life to have such a wonderful and inspirational mother. She was a touchstone for family and friends, and showed everyone how to appreciate and live life to the full. You did so much to help and support her through the years. The way you have lived your life is a beautiful testament to your parents' artistic creativity and love of nature and Spirit. I know how very proud she must have been of you... her amazing son. I send thoughts of celebration...

You had a lovely mother who was dearly loved by you all. We are so sorry about her passing. You must have wonderful memories for all of the times spent together. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We're thinking of Bertha and her big beautiful family of amazing individuals - loving thoughts to all of you at this time of passage.

To My cousins:I will never forget the summers we enjoyed having you all in our home in Toledo when I was younger. It was always a joy to have Aunt Bertha visiting us for extended periods. We always sold her Watkins products in Grandma Kutzkes neighborhood. She carried on in the photo area for my sister BettyAnn Wedding and I remember her writing those poems you so eloquently spoke. Having her in Toledo visiting with all of her siblings was a grand occassion with her Mom Julia in the early...
