Aunt Bertie was such a "Ray of Sunshine". She was always smiling and lit up the room, the few times that I did get to see her.
I will miss her sweet Christmas cards. She was such a blessing to our family. Now, she is reunited with her family and the Grandmother that I never knew. my Daddy, Lynn and all of our loved ones that have gone on before us.
What a glad Reunion Day that will be, when
the face of Jesus we will see and get to be reunited with our family. You will be missed.

What a Wonderful, Special and Beautiful Lady My Aunt Bertie was! I always considered her to be my Grandmother since, I never knew mine. She was always so quick with her laughter when you called. Always upbeat and positive. RIP Aunt Bertie!
