Your heart...What a beautiful way to start a Sunday. Your heartfelt tribute to your mother-in-law brought a tear to my eye and a song to my heart. I often played "Bye bye blackbird" on the accordion while accompanying my dad on his banjo. It was a song that belonged to that generation of strong men and women who were fated to live through a Great Depression and WWII. <BR/><BR/>Bertha left a rich legacy and she has now, indeed, "packed up all her cares and woes" and gone to a far better place where some very special people are waiting for her. They left the light on. <BR/><BR/>My sincere sympathy to you and yours.The Materhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930405332285748751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-1149999633850349302006-06-10T21:20:00.000-07:002006-06-10T21:20:00.000-07:00Terry, I'm very sorry about the loss of your moth...Terry, I'm very sorry about the loss of your mother-in-law.
