May you now RIP with your beloved Wife Bert you always said to me she chose you and now she’s called you to rest beside her
To Bert’s family, I was one of his care staff. It’s hard to say goodbye even for us, some are more special than others. Bert was special I did enjoy our or his stories in the middle of the night. He was a true gentleman. He will never leave your hearts.
For when Bert passed he took a piece of your hearts with him, so when you think of him and your heart hurts its him letting you know he’s with you too.
May you rest in peace Bert ⚘️
