    My condolences to all of Bertha’s family. We shared a great time here at Vintage Green when some of us including Bertha belonged to the Red Hat Society. She was always willing to come to our many functions. A good life she had to be sure. I know how glad she was doing her art work at the Retirement home.
    My prayers are with her.

    Dear Family, I was so sorry to hear about your loved one. Losing someone we love is perhaps the most difficult thing we have to deal with in life, but our Creator tells us at Psalm 34:18 “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.” I know you have many wonderful memories, may these help ease what you are going through.

    Our sincere condolences on the lost of your mother, grandmother and friend. We will always remember her laugh,
    smile and lovely sense of humor. She was a loving friend and neighbour.
