Mom one of my fondest memories,when I was little you taught me how to pray. Every night by our beside, you would sit with me and my sister and repeat the words with us to the Lord's prayer until we remembered them. We lived in a little house on pendegast st where you said there were ghosts.Still to this day I remember Hail mary it's one of my favorites.I remember you giving me my first bible, and how thrilled you were when my son's were born.I wish I could be there for your services. I know you would understand. We said our goodbyes already at your beside as God took you home. Your memory will be with me always. Miss you and love you more than words can say..

My mom would say "I'm talking with my Comadre on the phone" She (Bertha) enjoyed those moments with her Comadre (Esther). Now they have that chance once again...Our condolences to her entire family...may god bless you all.
