In Loving Memory of Alberta Yesterday, we said goodbye to a rare gem—Alberta. She was more than a friend; she was a light in the lives of all who knew her. Her kindness, laughter, and unwavering love left an imprint on our hearts that will never fade.
Though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit remains—woven into the memories we cherish and the lessons she taught us about love, strength, and generosity.
Alberta was truly one of a kind, and her presence will be missed beyond words. To her family, please know that she was deeply loved, and the impact she had on our lives is immeasurable. May her memory bring comfort and peace in the days ahead.

Alberta, had a mild, kind and loving way about her. She loved her family and friends...she loved life.
Alberta, was very creative and enjoyed beauty, a gift that Jehovah gave her. I remember over 30 years ago when her gift for my wedding day was to enhance a little of my beauty and the beauty of the ladies in the wedding by adding just the right amount of makeup. We loved her creation!
I know she will be missed by her family and friends, especially her girls whom she'd so compassionately.
Please know you have my warm empathy, prayers and love.

Cherie, you and your family have been on my mind since I heard the news. I didn’t know your beautiful mother, but she must’ve been quite a woman to have raised such lovely women such as yourself. Stay strong and keep moving until you see her again. We all await our mothers return, happy, young and serving Jehovah together. May Jehovah wrap his loving arms around you and your entire family now and until you see her again.

She loved elephants—their wisdom, their quiet strength. And in many ways, she embodied them too. She carried kindness like an unshakable force, held space for others with a grace that never demanded attention but always deserved it.
She was my sister, not by blood but by choice. A friendship so deep, so unbreakable, that time apart never dulled its edges. When life got busy and days stretched between conversations, the thread of us remained unbroken. We laughed until our ribs ached, dreamed in tandem, and somehow always knew what the other needed—whether it was fierce honesty or the silence of simply being together.
And now, the world feels quieter. There is an empty space where her laughter used to echo, a stillness where her presence once lit up the room. But she is not truly gone. She is in every moment I reach for a memory, in the strength I summon on my hardest days. She is in the elephants she adored—steady, strong, unforgettable.
I miss her. I will always miss her. But love like this doesn’t fade—it shifts, it finds new ways to remain. And so, I carry her forward.
I will always love you,
Rachel

ALBERTA: THE ELEPHANT NEVER FORGOTTEN
In the great savannas of life, there walked a magnificent elephant named Alberta. She was wise, steady, and strong—her presence as a pillar of grace and kindness. Her footsteps left imprints not only in the earth but in the hearts of all who knew her.
Alberta was the matriarch, the guiding force of her herd. When the storms of life swept across the plains, she stood firm, offering shelter and wisdom. She had a heart as vast as the open sky and a spirit that never wavered. In joy, she trumpeted with laughter, sharing light with those who needed it most. In sorrow, she stood beside others, silent yet unwavering, a reminder that love is never truly lost.
Though Alberta has now crossed into the great beyond, the echoes of her kindness still rumble through the land. The earth remembers her gentle strength. The rivers flow with the stories she carried. And in the hearts of those who loved her, she lives on—an elephant never forgotten.
Always in my heart,
Rachel

Mother, planning your service with my sisters seems surreal. We were questioning ourselves yesterday: "Where do we get the strength to do this?", to which the response is that the strength comes from you.
You, my dear mother, are a phenomenal woman and mother that I inspire to be like each day. You have always instinctively been a motivational force in everything I do—my number one supporter, unwavering and proud regardless of the outcome.
Having you as my mother is the greatest blessing, you are truly a rare treasure. I'm heartbroken. I miss you immensely. I will celebrate the beautiful life you lived each day. I love you Always and Forever.

My mother dear. How does my life move forward without you. This is very very tough but you were my rock and motivation to keep pushing no matter what and Ma you telling me I can do this without you. I miss hearing your voice everyday and that’s the part that hurts the most. I love you so much and you are always in my heart ❤

Mother Dear,
‘Thank you’ doesn’t seem to suffice
for your love, your dedication,
for a many unseen sacrifice.
How is it you can ever be repaid?
According to your wish,
I will follow the foundation you and grandma laid.
What you ask, I will fight to do.
And it won’t be long before we’re enjoying life forever,
in paradise on earth, with you.
It wasn´t strange to hear people say "Berta and her girls ", and she wouldn´t have it any other way.

Mother Dear,
‘Thank you’ doesn’t seem to suffice
for your love, dedication,
for a many unseen sacrifice.
How is it you can ever be repaid? According to your wish,
I will follow the foundation
you and grandma laid.
What you ask I intend to do.
And it won’t be long now
before we’re reunited
on a paradise earth with you.
Love, Cherie
