Bertie it was such an honor to have you living at Mt Hope in the cottage and to be with you on your last days. You lended your bookkeeping talents to Mt Hope when the church bought the home, and were so very helpful utilizing your time and talents. You will always be remembered as a helper and a friend.

Our family attended Ephrata (now Grace Point) Church of the Nazarene with Tom and Bertie in the 80s and 90s. Bertie was a very talented musician and it was a blessing to know her. May God comfort Tom and the family.

Aunt Bertie was the most talented with knitting and crocheting. I have quite a few pieces she created and love each and every one of them. She was a very special Aunt. Miss you sweet lady! Rest in peace. –Sandi
