Carol and family,
My heart goes out to you at this time. Losing our moms is something we never seem to think will ever happen; they will always be here. She is walking the streets of Heaven! May our Lord comfort you now and in the days to come.
Love,

Bertha was a perfect example of a christian who talked and walked the life. We shall never forget what a "special" example she and Floyd were to us for so many years. I could go on and on about how Bertha loved and served others so unselfishly!! I knew her even from my childhood days...Corpus Christi and Falfurrias, TX. We loved her and Floyd dearly!!!

Pearl, Mel, Victoria and family: Sorry to hear of your loss. Bertha was a VERY SPECIAL LADY and her Christian witness will be long remembered. She was always so kind in remembering my Mom during times of illness and I thanked her for that. Today she has joined my folks and other loved ones at Jesus' feet. God bless and keep all of you in His care.

It broke my heart to hear that my friend Bea had passed. I became aquainted with Bea thru Pearl and Mel. What wonderful Christain people. I'm so glad that I know where she is living today. May the Lord bless and comfort her family and friends until we all get together again on that day. With love in Christ, Ray and Linda Butterfield
