Dear Bertie, I'm remembering you with love & gratitude for your warmth, friendship, and what seemed like unlimited energy to give to all of us. Also for kind conversations & wisdom shared with my daughter, Crystal. And all the themed birthday cakes - No matter what she asked for, you created it. And I feel I should apologize for the late nights I'm sure you worried about Sherry when we were out together. I should have told you I would always protect her like a sister. You will be missed here, but I know God is holding you. May that be a comfort to Sherry, Gregg, Andi Rae, & Luna too. Rest now beautiful lady.
