Personal Notes:
I met Bertha when I worked in Bay Roberts. Her husband who was sick and bedridden was my client. Bertha had so much energy even in her 80s. She loved her family and friends and she dearly loved to bake.When you would enter the home your sense of smell was awakened with cookies such as these that she had baking in her oven
