    Wow, so hard to read this. I remember many, many Sundays that she would pick us up for Sunday school. She is the one who taught me about God. I know she will be missed by many. But for those of us who had the privilege to know her knows she is truly in heaven and extremely happy right now.

    God Bless you Aunt Bertha
