Condolence: Bertie cared for me as a baby in the nursery at Central Baptist Church in Paris. She was always hugs, kisses, and saltine crackers. She called my sister and myself, "her girls." Even after we were in high school we would make a stop to the nursery to say hello and get our hug and "sugars" from Bertie. I saw her a year or so again at a local baseketball while visiting family in KY. She took one look at my girls and smiled and made her joyful squeal. She hugged on them just like she did me when I was a little girl. Bertie is a reminder of the impact a person can have on the life of a child.

Condolence: Dearest Bertie and Family, Our whole family was shocked and so sad to learn of your passing. Somehow I thought you would be here forever, full of life and joy. This is a big loss for all of your many, many friends. Rest easy dear one.

Condolence: My heart is heavy. I've lost a dear friend. I'll miss your smile and how your laughter lights up a room, but most of all our weekly conversations. Rest in peace my friend. Love you...

Condolence: Sympathy and comfort to the family during this time of loss. Your mother was always a very kind person and didn't mind asking how you were doing, then took the time to listen to you talk about what you were doing. Makes me smile when I think about her, always.

Condolence: Ms. Bertie it has been a long journey. I will miss our days of sitting down and talking. I will miss your precious smile and your great words of wisdom. I love you dearly my friend. Even when I moved to Lexington you kept in touch and when I didn't see you often my Mom would always give me your messages and let me know you were thinking about me. RIP Ms. Bertie. Love you. Diana.

Condolence: Having a really hard time wrapping my arms around the fact that you have passed! My dear friend, I will miss you terribly!A piece of my heart went with you and will remain so. You were one in a million and your smile and laughter lit up the room! Rest easy Miss Bertie as you were getting so tired and I could see it in your eyes! They still were sparkly but some of the glitter was not quite the same! I love you dear lady, from the first day I met you and I probably will still try to call you and say "Bertie, I am in town, can I bring you something to eat?" You would say"bring me what you are having." We ate and laughed and shared! I still will have lunch with you, as I plan on taking it to the cemetery and talking to you there! As angels go quietly into the night.......I love you Bertie!!!!
