Condolences

So many wonderful memories of times spent with Aunt Bertha. As children Randy and I would always be so happy when Uncle Bob, Aunt Bertha, Gary and Steve would come spend the weekend at our house or we would visit them. Lots of good times. Always felt as though the boys were more like brothers than cousins. As we grew older I would spend the night with Aunt Bertha once in a while and we always had fun. We grew up and had families of our own and didn't see each other much, but Gary and Steve I think of you often and want you to know how sorry I am for your loss. Love you guys. Aunt Bertha was my second mom and I will always cherish the memories of our times together.

What a sweet kind lady, I always enjoyed our visits. She had a lovely flower bed and enjoyed spending time keeping it beautiful. She was always fun to spend time with have a glass of tea and just enjoy her company.

I remember going over to great grandma Goldie's as child a lot with my Grandma Charles (Marge) I'd many times talk them all into going fishing with me in the pond across the road lol. She also never forgot a time when I was very young that she broke my candy cane and I was mad at her for a week haha. Bertha would always write me letters when I was either in basic training or Afghanistan as well, always loved to hear from her. Gonna miss her
