Dear Bert, You were a fiesty old broad (and I mean that in the most sweetest, loving way) and I always enjoyed our times together. You made a loving, lasting impression here on this earth and I'm sure you'll make one in Heaven too. I'm so sorry that we can never "eat Japanese" together again, but I know you are with God and out of pain. Please be sure to look for me when I see you again in Heaven...
Much love, LouAnn Vestal-Femia (the other Grandma)
P.S. (Whenever I see chocolate covered cherries, I always think of you Bert because you always gave them to me at Christmas time...)

A candle can add light to a room, you added more than just a light! Wherever you went you not only brightened the room you brightened all the faces around you. You were the life of the party. You always brought with you joy and happiness which is a God given gift that you gave every time I seen you. Thank you for the joy you shared with us. We'll miss you but we will see you in the morning. Love your one and only sissy's daughter, Debbie
