I am so sorry to hear of Burt's passing. She was my mother's first friend when she moved here from Virginia at the age of 14 and throughout her life was one of her very best friends. I wish we had known so that we could have attended her services. She will truly be missed!

So sorry I couldn't be with your family today as you celebrate Bert's life. I will always remember Bert as a person very full of life. Her and Chuck were great people. It takes a great person to guide her family through life. Bert did a good job as a mother and friend. Her memory will live a long time in all who knew her. My deepest sympathy to her family.
