Sorry to hear of Bert’s passing. My sympathies to your entire family. Bert was kind to everyone and had a smile that lit up her face. I can’t get the memory of her smile out of my mind. She always had such a pleasant greeting to all of Alverno’s visitors. God rest her soul.
My prayers are with each of you.
Bert Is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
Thank you S. Barb, this is perfect. Cindy

Attachment
So very sorry for losing Bertha. She was so good for our father, Ray. She gave his life meaning and purpose. She helped make Christmas special along with all the other holidays. We always enjoyed being with her and mostly I remember her laugh. She was a wonderful person, who helped make a good life for her and Raymond and always make me feel welcome. She will be missed, but surely she and our father Ray are happy to be together again.
It is with my deepest regrets that I found out about Bert’s passing in such a manner , She was one the greatest jewels of my late uncle Ray and assure she will be sadly missed
