Merry Christmas sister, the reality of the all is becoming more unbearable and more painful. To a certain extent it feels like you didn't make it home from school this year, however deep down I know the truth. I love you, I miss you so much. I wish you were coming home

Rick and family~
I am lost for words; but my heart goes out to you and your family. She had to be very special because you were always very special to us. I know how you loved children because you were so good with my "Ami". I know it has been along time but I will always remember you were such a kind person and Brittany had to have had alot of love from you. She was blessed to have had you as her "Daddy". You all are in my heart. I am so sorry~

Baby.. I love you beyond words can express. You were an angel, the most kind and fun human being who showed me the meaning of true friendship and brought so much laughter and great memories to my life. A day will not go by where something wont remind me of you. I know you are happy and in peace and I will look for you in the sky, whenever I need you. You will be the brightest of all stars, shining even more bright than any diamond. I can write millions of books about what a wonderful person you were and how much fun we had together and I will always think of more things to add.. I only knew you for less than 4 years but no one will ever replace your place in my heart. I must have done something right in my life to have met you. I will look at all our goofy pictures and laugh till the day I see you in heaven and we laugh together. Love always -Diva

We were only in San Luis Obispo for a year, but were able to meet Brittany when she went with our Son to his Senior Prom. She was truly an Angel. Our hearts are broken in hearing this very sad news of her passing. We are praying for the entire Bertram Family. God be with you all.
