My Aunt Bertha Ireta Kaffka Lard was to me the sweetest kindly lady and she never turn down anyone that needed her help. I was one of those that needed help when I was a teenager she & Uncle Ray took me in their home fed me and gave a place to stay. Ireta was the best cooks in the world Sunday dinner was always GREAT.
Now God has saidI have loaned Ireta to the world now I want her back with me.My Aunt will be missed but never forgotten.
Your loving nephew Daniel
