Bert will be missed. She was a friend, comrade, co-worker and comfort to me many times. She could make us laugh, and let us cry. May God bless you, Angie and your family as you learn to be comforted by only a memory.

Bert was the one who comforted me at our dear friend Rosemary Jones' funeral. At that time I didn't know Bert, but became friends soon after. Will miss her at our quarterly luncheons. My love and prayers to her family.
