Ray always respected and I enjoyed our time when we knew her. Ray remembers riding with the family to ball games when he lived with his Grandma up by Bertha Faye’s home. He has cherished memories of those years and being friends with her sons. The first time I was introduced to Bertha Faye, it was then when I had the privilege meeting her and talking to her a lot. She was an awesome seamstress and her home was surrounded by absolutely beautiful flowers. Prayers for family. Bertha Faye will be missed.

I am so sorry to here about Bertha Faye
I have so many great memories of all of the Fisk family. We live right up the road from Millie and Bill. When all of the kids and grandkids would all come in and on Sunday afternoon they all play music and fix a huge dinner. I was always down their I was part of the family too. Bertha Faye was really a good friend of my mom. They was born the same year. My mom told so many story’s of what they did as girls playing paper dolls and getting watermelons from the patch up by Cowan cemetery.
I pray for all you boys. You had a good mother she told many story’s about you boys when you all was young. May God give you all peace at this sorrowful time. I would love to be at the funeral but I can’t make it but all the family is in my thoughts and prayers.
