My 91 year old aunt passed away over the weekend. Alberta, or “Aunt Bert,” as I’d always known her, was an inspiration, and shared my love for animals. Whenever we visited, we would trade stories on which birds had been visiting our feeders.
Well into her ‘80s she could be found feeding the gulls at the nearby Seaview Pacific Ocean beach approach or walking her dog, Duffy, along the quiet streets of her small coastal town neighborhood.
Aunt Bert was an exceptionally kind and caring woman who will be missed by people and animals alike.
