Bertha always treated me and my son Brandon like we were her own family. She was the best influence on my son's life and I believe she was a Saint sent to earth for all who knew her. I learned my way around the kitchen from Bertha, especially canning. She could do anything. Pure Love ❤️ ran through her veins.
I am in California and Brandon is in Oregon but we are with all her wonderful Family in spirit.
Rest In Peace Bertha; I know you are with the 👑 Prince of Peace. You made heaven on earth for all of us lucky enough to have known you💝🙏🏼✝️

Another Newton cousin gave me the information on Bertha. My thoughts are with the family. I am sure you have lots of loving memories to sustain you in this time of grief.

Bertha was one of the first family members I had contact with after I started doing Newton genealogy. She graciously gave me updates and photos on her branch of the family. We are first cousins once removed. My grandmother was Elsie Irene Newton Wing. I hope one of the family will take up this connection for more information on the the descendants of her branch.

Dear Mary and all of the La Claire family,
We are so sorry to hear of Aunt Bertha's passing and also that we will not be able to be in attendance at the Service. Due to Beth's recent surgery we are unable to travel at that this time. We send each of you a big Kiss and Hug and please know that we are thinking of you
in your time of sorrow. She is now with her sisters and brothers who have gone before her and is being basked in the glory of Jesus and God. Take care of each other, Love to all of you Beth and Penn

To the LaClaire family,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this. Your mother was a gem in this world. Growing up next door , Ma always made me feel welcome and safe. I remember most the maple syrup that she made in the kitchen. She was a woman of few words, but they were words of wisdom for me. Even today I catch myself quoting her. She was loved my many and will be missed by all.
