I always felt loved with Shirley and Loretta. Ma Bert was my second mother. I was so sad to hear about her passing. I lost my brother in March, Donnie Ayres and it is a reminder of just how close families are. I am going to miss seeing her on Facebook and her love for everyone especially that little one which always put a smile on her face. Thinking of you entire family with love.
