It was such a surprise to hear from my parents that Aunt Bertha passed away. I looked forward to reading her letters to my family every Christmas. I remember the fun times we had at the Airport and the times she came to visit my Nana after grandad passed, those memories will always stay with me. My parents, brother and I give our condolences to the family. - Posted by: Sandy Parker (Great Niece) on: Dec 21, 2013
