Hey Friend, I miss you! Blessed with the gift of a "work bestie" indeed, you were my ace. Brooklyn-born "seasoned" October queens, Brownsville and Bed-Stuy...we know what it means ;-). Our morning chit chats, lunches on the grove, two around is a mile walks, monthly outings, communicating through covert text messages and emojis will forever resonate in my heart and cause me to smile. So God, I thank you for gifting Bertha Hare to the earth and allowing her presence to leave an unforgettable fragrance. Rest easy my dear friend and enjoy the "better" plan God had in store for you. One last time in our lingo girl, "FTS-NMFC!!" Mo

You were always such a pleasure to be around. Your infectious smile and abundance of love touched everyone you met, and they will truly be missed. Even now, it feels unreal to accept that you're no longer with us physically, but we aren't meant to question God's plan. Thank you for being a constant source of love and support for my entire family. Your impact will forever remain in our hearts. Rest peacefully, Queen, until we meet again. I love you always, Xiomara🤍🕊️🙏🏾

My dear sister/friend, Bertha: I am grateful to God for our unbreakable bond. You were the consummate friend, sister, confident, and biggest cheerleader that I have ever had. Your physical presence, touch, and voice will be forever missed. But the love and bond we shared, as sisters and the memories that we created will live well past our lives. Your mark, your love, and your presence significantly impacted my entire family. You shared our holidays and all of our special celebrations. Holiday desserts will never be the same. Your name will be spoken at all occasions. You will live on through us all. I love you beyond measure, my dear sister and friend. Words are inadequate to express the deep rooted loss and the pain that we are left to carry. We know that God only loans one for a time, and what a time we had. It was a great ride. I thank God for the love and bond shared. Our parents and a few others will usher you to glory with open arms. I expect you to protect from on high😇as you protected me on earth! Rest in peace my dear. I will see you on the other side. Endless love, Ingi
