It was a pleasure providing care for you Bert. You will be greatly missed R.I.P.
Sad to read Bertie passed. She was a sweet soul.
My condolences to all her family and friends. Heaven gained an angel.
Praying for all of you. Bert was like another mom to me growing up. She always treated me as her own. I’m sure Billie and I gave her some gray hair with our shenanigans. You will be greatly missed momma Bert!
