Auntie Bertha was a beloved mother, sister, aunt & friend to so many. She is truly missed. Aunt Bertha was the glue that connected us to so many & now they've slowly faded away. Aunt Bertha knew each family, friends & how they connected. I miss her wisdom & advice, even when not asked, our weekly show "Power". I know she is awaiting to greet her family & friends one day & I pray we will meet again with our Heavenly Father.

Love always,
Denise Wilson

How I will miss you Auntie Bertha. No words can ever express what I felt for you & wouldn't do, even when it seemed impossible. You fought with everything to make sure things where left unfinished, but what you didn't know, God always had your back until the end. God, he's the Alpha & Omega, beginning & the end.

Love you always,
Denise "Neicey" Wilson
