The family of Bertha Maye Reep Christie McKinney wishes to thank all those who shared memories and offered sympathy and hugs at the recent passing of our mother and grandmother.

We especially wish to thank the VNA Inpatient Hospice staff for making her final journey a gentle one.

Our gratitude also goes to Evelyn Bergbigler and her staff at Evie’s Country Care for taking such good care of Mom, Rev. Robert Mathias and Rev. James Steiner for capturing the essence of Mom in their funeral service, Slater’s Market for providing the funeral dinner food, and Young’s Funeral Home for taking care of all the details.
