I was born in Calgary, i attended grade 1 at King Edward school. Bertha was my caregiver before and after school while my Mom worked. I remember her kind spirit and loving nature. She always gave me a little bit of peppermint extract when i had a tummy ache, which was often, haha. Bert and Bertha attended my wedding in St Albert in 1984, said they wouldn't miss it for the world, that was the last time i saw them both. Still thinking of you, may you rest in peace. Love You, Natalie x

Our deepest sympathies to you on the passing of your mother and grandmother. My (Ardell & Thelma's)s earliest memories of your mom were when we attended the Bible Club Rally's and she was always there as one of the faithful workers for the Lord. May you be comforted in knowing that she is now "present with the Lord". Our thoughts and prayers are with you! Ross & Ardell Dubber

We celebrate the life of Bertha with you. We had opportunity to visit with her many times years ago when you would bring her to evening services at Rockyview. May you be comforted by God's love and our prayers.
