Toni Ann Abbruzese Relation to Deceased: Niece Aunt Carol & Family – I am thinking of you and sending you lots of hugs and kisses. I can’t think of a time when I didn’t see a smile on Uncle Bert’s face. He always made me feel like the prettiest girl in the world. He had a wonderful vibe that made me feel like I’d seen him yesterday even though we didn’t get to see each other nearly enough. I know he is looking down on us with the same smile I’ll always remember. Love you Toni Ann The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Theresa & Eldon Cyr Relation to Deceased: Sister Carole & family…..I will forever remember & cherish the beautiful memories my sisters & I had with all of you 2 yrs. ago, when we saw Bert for the last time! He’s now at peace in His glory.. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.

Lori Bergland Relation to Deceased: niece Aunt Carole & family We will hold you in our hearts and prayers as we remember Uncle Bert. I see him with his Kodak camera, making a funny remark and getting Memere to laugh on one of the many occassions you visited CT. There is this picture in my head, Janine, of those wonderful days at Memere and Pepere’s house where we would put on a show in the basement and make all the aunts/uncles watch. Your dad was always part of the audience sitting on the basement stairs. I’ll bet he is still making Memere laugh… With all our love Lori & family

Joan Kratzer Relation to Deceased: Sister Dear Carole and Janine, Rich and Michael, I know you are missing and will miss my ‘older’ brother, as I called him. My heart and prayers go out to all of you. The bonds of love are deeply rooted and memories do live on in our hearts. That is the hope God gives us to go on until we all meet again in heaven. My bond with Bert is special. As a child, I ALWAYS had a hard time saying good-bye to him when he visited and it will be no different on Tuesday. Love and hugs, Joan aka Toots May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. An Old Irish Blessing
