Bertie,
I want to tell you how much I love and miss you. Your smile could light up a room! You had so many wonderful gifts to share and I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. You taught me so much about myself, life, family, and love. I have found comfort in knowing you are in a better place and that I will see you again one day; your memory will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend, I love you!
I found this poem and would like to share it with you, Bertie and with all those who knew and loved you.
God looked around his garden
and found an empty place
He then looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again
He saw that the road was getting rough
and the hills are hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
and whispered, "Peace be thine"
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
