"Liz & Don Webster Relation to Deceased: Family Friend I was so sorry to hear of Bert's death, Joyce! Unfortunately, it was just yesterday! I pray that you are managing his passing as well as can be expected! Please know that you will be in our prayers, as are Brian, Terry, M.C. and the rest of your family in the weeks and months ahead! My first thought was that Bert and Alex are now having great conversations together in heaven!!! He so loved Alex! I loved chatting with Bert whenever our paths crossed. He certainly was a seeker of all sorts of information! Many memories of him will be cherished, please know that! You are in my thoughts and prayers, All of you, Liz Webster 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"
