I am so sorry to read of your mother's passing. She was a wonderful lady. I will miss her. I am so glad that I visited when I came to town. She was such a good friend to my mother and I appreciate that so much. How lucky she was to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law and son to care for her.
Love and prayers to all of the family, Linda and Brent Bradley

Thoughts and Prayers are with you during this time
Sympathy and prayers from Bertha's friends from Reeds Creek, WV.....where she and Ernie kept their camper for many years.
We are saddened to hear of her passing, but at the same time - happy to know that she will be together with Ernie again. My neice, Amanda, said she is sure that they are already planning their first camping trip in heaven. She and Ernie were two of the finest people one could ever hope to know. She taught me how to crochet, make beaded christmas ornaments, necklaces from wallpaper and many other wonderful things. She was just a positive influence on all of the lives she touched. Be comforted with all of the wonderful memories and knowing the joy that she brought to so many people.
Your're in our thoughts and prayers!!
