    I had the honor and privilege of meeting and caring for Ms. Berta. I was instantly in love! She was an incredibly amazing, beautiful and loving woman. She always carried herself with such grace. She gave the ultimate heartfelt hugs! She never complained and loved bragging on her family….especially “Sharon the Brat” and sweet Mrs. Jan. I am blessed to have known this sweet, sweet lady and her family. I love you Ms. Berta and will never forget you!
