BJ July 19, 2016, 6:59 am I met Bertha late in her life through church. She was always smiling and she was happy to see everyone. She loved music and she appreciated my husband\'s guitar playing and my singing. She made the world a better place. She will be greatly missed. Prayers to each of her family members for comfort.
