Lots of love to all the Dakota and West Coast Bertsch family. A life beautifully written, and beautifully lived.I have the honor and distinct pleasure of watching the three Gulfcoast granddaughters, and two more great-grandkids, of Mr. Bertsch, grow and flourish. I miss Gigi, and I know how much she loved and respected her mom and dad, and all of the strong family ties and values, that came from being one of such a large pack.I trust that the faith, humor, intelligence, and love, that flowed...

Knew Jim back in the 80's when I was Terri Hall. Loved him and Maggie and the times we had back then. My heart goes out to the family. Love, Terri Adams (my maiden name)
