Scottie, I am so sorry to hear of Bertha passing. She was such a blessing for all of us that had the pleasure of knowing her. I will always cherish the beautiful memories I have of her and the kindness and love she showed to everyone. She was like a Grandma to my girls and we loved her so much. I know she is rejoicing with Sonny and Darlene and they are once again enjoying each other. I pray for peace for you and your siblings and know that she is in a better place and is no longer struggling.
Love, Allen and Charlene

Our hearts are saddened to hear about your loss. Bertha was like a mother to all who played sports at Bergman. Even when our teams wasn't playing well she was still there cheering us on. Her cheering and excitement for us gave us that little extra we needed to pull through and win. When fans think of Bergman athletics they may not remember players and coaches , but everyone remembers our numer one fan Bertha. Thought and prayers for all the Edmonson family.

So sorry to hear of Mrs. Edmonson's passing. She was a precious, sweet lady. We got to know her at baseball games during the summer and what a lively fan she was. May the Lord give a great peace to you all during this sad time.

Coach Copeland and I are very saddened to hear of Bertha's passing. However, we know that God already has her at the precious task of tending to all of the Beautiful flower gardens in Heaven.
Bertha was , by far, one of Bergman's greatest basketball and baseball fans! She loved going to the games and cheering on her children and grandchildren. I always kept the scorebooks and could , without fail, hear her cheering !
Whenever Scotty was in my 4th grade class, that Soring he nearly picked all of his mother's gorgeous flowers from her yard and brought them to me, his teacher. She laughed , as only Bertha could, and said, "Boy, he must be in BIG trouble with you, he's about picked my yard dry!" I'll never forget that!
I'll never ever forget her support, her precious smile and her contagious laugh!
To ALL of her family, Dennis and I will treasure all of our memories of your sweet sweet mother and grandmother, and great grandmother. Please know that everyone of you is in our thoughts and our prayers during this difficult time. We are glad that she is finally at peace and is truly Home now. Live your lives to make her proud and to honor her. You will see her again someday ... and what a Glorious day that will be🙏 She was such a BLESSING TO SO MANY of us. Treasure all of your beautiful memories of her.
