We lived next door to Bertha for 18 years. Bertha was such a sweet person with a heart of gold. We moved to Wisconsin in 2005 and every year we received a Christmas Card and sent a card as well, including this year since I didn´t know of her passing. We would visit with her when we come to our old neighborhood. She will be missed very much! May you Rest In Peace with Joe in Heaven, God Bless You.
