Sorry to here of Bertha’s passing. Mom and Dad enjoyed fishing, camping @ Smith lake with Bertha and Richard. They also like snowmobiling together. Sitting with candlelight as they played cards together when the lights would go out. The laughter I will never forget. I also cannot forget Donnie and Carol Finken who made us laugh . They are all together again. GOD BLESS YOU.
I am so sorry to here of Bertha passing. She was so good to Mom (Rita Silvers) while Mom was in the assisted living and then nursing home in albany.
And all the good times they had playing cards and just enjoying life! My thinking is they’re having a great time being all together again.
