I met Berty when she was my Mom's roommate (Dorothy)at Marwood. We had many wonderful talks. When she moved to a different room, I would often stop in to see her and chat with her. She loved when I showed her pictures of my grandson and I brought him in once to meet her. She was such a lovely lady and always tried to act cheerful even though I knew she was in much pain. I will miss seeing and talking to her. May God be with her family during this difficult time. Lynda

Rest in peace, now, Aunt Berty Lou, cause your trials and tribulations of this life are done. I must say, you were one of the most coolest Aunts' I had! Prayers to my cousins.
