Berta - what a lovely person! I'm so happy to have met her and got to know her a little and played lyre with her. I was very sad for her when the time came that she could no longer manage the lyre-playing.I am so grateful to be able to call her a friend and to have been able, these last months and weeks, to have been kept abreast of her journey - thanks to Dorothy and Murray.I doubt if she will rest in peace - she will be playing music in heaven and learning whatever languages they have there and painting again...... Berta: go well!
