Bert, I love you and will always treasure the many wonderful times I had as a child spent with you. Shooting the 410, feeding the chickens, shooting roman candles, and going to Dotson’s store. You were wonderful and we miss you. Love Dick
Nancy, I am so honored to be a part of your family. Dick loved Bert very much, and so did I. You were such a great daughter- you set an example for all to follow. We are very sorry we cannot be there, but we are with you in heart and spirit. Love , Ellen
