The love of having a friend like Bert Knowlton may be taken away, but the memories of that friendship will ever live in my ❤️ heart. Bert would carry sunshine in her heart and fire in her fingertips. A girl not afraid of hard work and not take crap from anyone!! She loved to have fun and never met a stranger. Her laugh, smile, and her kind soul will never be forgotten…..RIP my love……
