You will be missed by all of us, family and friends alike. You made an impression on everyone you met and will therefore live forever in our hearts and memories. I wish I had lived closer to you, so we could have gotten together more often, cousin. I’ll never forget the time we all went to the Cheeseburger Festival in Caseville after my dad’s funeral. You and Linda helped us keep our sanity and get past the earlier events of the day. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, go rest easy, Roberta, we will all be reunited someday.
I will hold you in my heart forever. All great times we had and our late night walks home, even sleeping on someone’s lawn. Lol. You are one of a kind and lived life to its fullest.
Bert you were always a friend that made everything fun and adventurous. Lived life to the fullest and took care of me when I needed help. You were a strong lady and I will miss you so much. Love you Bert. Here for you Linda and Eugene
Bert, I have thought about you so many times and remembered when you lived with the kids and I and took care of them while I was on ambulance runs. Remembered the time you were babysitting and Ronnie got a Gardner snake and you ran into the bathroom to get away…Ronnie had put that snake under the door and you couldn’t get down from the cupboard to get out. You, Kathy and I did lots together. You have always kept a special place in mine and the kids hearts. I know you blessed all who knew you. Prayers for comfort for your family during this sad time.❤🙏
Just have to say Happy Birthday. Jacob and I miss you so much. Give Alex a big hug from us! Love you ❤️
