Aunt Bertie you will be loved forever. We will miss you and all your wise sayings. You are now at peace and once again with Bert. I know that you are also watching out for our brother, Jack, as you did so many times with all of us when we were children.##imported-begin##Jeff Carroll##imported-end##

You will surely be missed by all. You were there for us all whenever we needed you. We know that it was your time to join Bert again and that you are welcomed into the arms of our Lord. I know that our son, Jack has joined you on this journey and gives comfort to know you are together at this time. All our love until we meet again.##imported-begin##Forrest, Joanne, Lori##imported-end##

Grandma, thank you for being so wonderful to all of us Grandkids. Whenever I see a vinyl floral embossed tablecloth I will think of you...whenever I smell that "fresh laundry" smell I will think of you...whenever I hear "The Hokie Pokie" I'll think of you....whenever I taste your famous tomato soup I will think of you...and when I think of you, I will smile and say... Oh Grandma, how I love you!
Your always in my heart.
Love, Selena##imported-begin##Selena Corwin##imported-end##
