Our thoughts and prayers are with Bert's family. I was happy to get to know her better last summer when she was staying with Paula. We will miss her wonderful cookies she used to bake. Thankfully she is now without pain and is with loved ones who have passed before her. With all our love, Cindy & Kevin Ogden
