Hi All,
I grew up with Emily and would go over to their house everyday after school up until Gradeschool and I miss Emily Very Much and I'm trying to find Her. SHe knows Me by Kitten so is probably having a hard time finding Me and so if anyone could connect Us that would be great. I haven't seen Her since High school when I transferred to Tucson High and I'd love to have Her over at My Mom's since SHe was always there for Me. Please tell Her to Text Me @ 520-497-0623 and She can look Me up on any social Media under "Kiernan Kit"... My Dad just died recently and My Mom is 73 and trying to make the best of Her age over here. PLEASE CONNECT US!!! SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND!!! Miss You TONS MICHELLE AND BERT!! :) I drive by the Law Firm You worked at and Think of You...

I am so sad to hear of Bert's battle with cancer and of his passing. Bert, you were such a kind, smart and caring man. You rescued my family so many times over the years. When legal problems arose, I would call you and you would take care of it, calm me and make me feel that everything would be ok. Emily, I never met you but your father always spoke so proudly of you, you were the light in his eyes. He was a good man who helped so many people in his legal practice, our family was one of many.

My heart was struck with utter sadness when Ralf and I learned of Bert passing. I met Bert and Michele when they built their home across the street from ours. Our friendship and caring of each other was a nice constant in our life. When Emily was born my son Daniel was 6-7 he felt like her big brother and loved being with her. I remember talking with Bert in early January and he shared with me a beautiful description of his love for Michele and especially for Emily "the greatest gift in his life".
Bert was a quiet thoughtful man devoted to his family and his law practice he will be in our hearts for ever. Emily, I think your new tattoo is a great honor that your wonderful dad would smile about. He was very cool about you. He told me that you are the greatest gift of his lifetime. I want you to move forward in life filled with the love your parents embraced for you. Reach for the stars and know your dreams will come true.
Please call us any time for any reason we are here for you.

Bert was an amazing man with great stories. He knew the true meaning of relationship and how important they are in Business and Life. He helped me out when no one else could. He told me how it was and not how I wanted to hear it. He did not co-sign my BS and for that I am internally grateful. He helped push me to be the person I am today and I will never forget his words.
God Bless

I don't know what to say.
Larry and I had the privilege of spending a lot of time with Bert the last weeks of his life. We laughed and told stories. Bert had many great memories. He was a brave man and always was so proud of Emily. He loved Emmy and Michelle very much. We will miss you Bertie.You were so patient with the rest of us who tried to keep up. "Is there an echo in here?"

Dear Emily, family & Bert's friends,
My deepest condolences to you during such a very sad time. Wow, this makes you wonder how life works with Bert passing away not long after his wife passed away.
Emily, don't worry you'll be fine. Eventually their happy memories will prevail in your mind and heart. Allow the tears to flow right now and you will see/feel their strength within you. I know they are very proud of you and I remember you when you were a little girl. Both your parents adored you and you were the love of their lives from Day 1. Lean on family and friends right now to get you through this difficult time and continue to make both your parents proud of you.
R.I.P. Bert.
Love, Maria (Larry's sister)

My thoughts and prayers go out to Emily and the rest of Bert's family and friends on their loss. He was a good and decent man. I am very sorry that an out of state trip prevents me from joining his family and friends at the celebration of his life this Friday. I will be with you all in spirit.
