I have many great memories Aunt Bert. When my parents divorced my mom brought us to visit every summer. We usually went to Kings Island. One time while there riding the water log ride, are parents always made Ramona and I sit in front so when we went down and it splashed the water we would get what and they would not get their hair messed up. One-time Ramona and I decided to duck and let the water fly over us and get our mom's wet. Very funny for us not so much for them LOL
Then there was this time where my mom had a luau function to go to but nothing to wear. So Aunt Bert got one of those big trash bags with a drawstring, turn it upside down cut a little off the bottom made strips and turn it into a grass skirt for Mom to wear. I remembered her doing that when my daughter was in elementary school and had a Hawaiian theme walkathon. So I made one of those for my daughter and her friend for their function.
I remember Aunt Bert making the best peanut butter fudge. And we would get those word search books and Ramona and I would team up against Aunt Bert and my mom to see who could find all the words the quickest. I believe Ramona and I won every time.
I remember Aunt Bert always being full of energy always smiling and laughing. You couldn't help but smile and laugh when you are around her.
So many wonderful memories that I will always treasure.
Oh Dennis I'm so sorry for your lost. One thing I can remember about Bertha when we were growing up that's funny. She loved gum and she would ask the older people (at church) for some. They would give her a piece and she would say I want the whole pack. I might want a piece later. So yes she got it, with that little charm of her's she'd win. After we got married we grew apart but I loved Bertha while growing up we had a lot of good times.
