My condolences to the family. Caring thoughts are with you at this sad time-it’s so hard to lose someone you love. Bertha was a very dear sister-in-law. I really enjoyed her company and phone call chats over the past 60 years. May you feel comforted knowing how much Bertha meant to so many.
With loving sympathy,
Donna Goller
Our condolences to Aunty Bertha’s family. We didn’t get to visit with her often as we didn’t live in Wakaw but our parents (Mervin and Rose) and Bertha made many phone calls over the years to keep in touch. Rest in peace Aunty Bertha ❤ Eleanor and Don McGillivvray
Our dear Auntie Bertha was always the special auntie, she was single, hip , had the coolest jewelry and softest skin! I still think of her when I smell her special perfume Youth Dew! She was a strong independent woman without harshness or discord. She loved life and made deep bonds with the people she held close, while living and expressing her faith every day.
My condolences to all of Bertha’s family. With so many cousins, I didn’t get a chance to know her well, but she was always happy and kind, and ready to chat. I liked seeing and hearing the Goller sisters together ….She and my mom (her aunt Veronica) had a great relationship.
Was sorry to hear about Bertha. Her friend Mary phoned me
I knew her since the 70’s. When we were young we sure had fun.
Still kept In touch through the years. Met for lunch occasionally.
Although as we got older are meetups we’re less. We always check in by phone.
We shared many memories together for years and will miss that the most. She loved music and sang us a song that was going through her mind all night just days before her passing; her voice was very good at that time. Thank you MARY and friends for the many days you were with her.
Hugs to the family ❤️❤️❤️
I’ll always remember one of the highlights of summer growing up was Auntie Bertha coming to stay at Grandma’s house for a few weeks. Always fun to be around and really enjoyed our time spent with her when she gave us the Victoria tour many years ago. She will be missed.
Our condolences to all the family. We wish your family peace during this difficult time. Please know our hearts ache knowing this loss is not easy and time will heal the soul.
Rest in peace Aunty Bertha. Please except our condolences Brenda and family ❤️
