I always thought of Aunt Bertha as a gentle, kind, and loving Aunt with wise eyes. My sister, Sharon ,remembers her baking the most delicious oatmeal cake! I remember visiting at her home one time and her and my Mother laughing with pure delight over their kids. It made me feel so good because I knew both of them were very hard workers. I can’t help but think Aunt Ruby and Aunt Bertha are going to liven up Heaven!! Phyllis Franklin
