We wish to expess our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to your entire family. I met Ms. Bertha through my brother the Late Isaac "Ike" Button. He brought me their to taste her delicious soul food many years ago. It has truly been a journey for all of us. I went and got a picture enlarged of "Ike"the other day afer he hs been gone home to be with the Lord nine years ago and started crying. So I say to you just hold on to each other and cherish all the memories that you have of Ms. Berthaand she will always be in your mind, heart and soul. God is not going to give you more than you can bear. Do not lean on your own understanding but lean on Jesus, who will give yu strength and can do all things but fail. We share in your loss because we have been where you are today. First the Lord took my mother when I was seven then my fatherthen my oldest sister, Louise and then "IKe." The Battle Is Not Yours, Its The Lords," He does not make any mistakes. We love you very much.

To the Grant Family:
I was truly devastated to hear about the loss of your mother. It was only a short time that I got to know her and her daughters at Bertha's Kitchen, but I immediately felt the love. I never could get the recipe for the cornbread but I will keep trying to make mine like Ms. Bertha's. I will forever keep you all in my prayers.

To God be the glory. May God bless this family and we will keep the family in prayer.

Bobby, Sharon, Dave, Linda, Julie and Quintin. There are not enough words that I can say or anything that I can do to mend your broken hearts but I do know when death robs you of such a precious gem as your mother,there's one thing that death can never take and that is the beautiful memories of how your sweet mother was and the many lives that she had changed on her journey to Heaven. God words say, "blessed are they that mourn for you will be comforted. Believe GOD'S TRUE WORD when He say's that there is a home made in the Heavens and this home is not made by mans hand but an eternal home that our God has established and there your mother is.Keep trusting God and He will bring you through.

Our sympathy to your family:
We just wanted to say that Ms. Bertha was like a mother to all of us running around Union Heights, and we will never forget her. Even at her lowest moments, her smile is one which we will never forget. God bless each and every one of you. And remember, He knows best.
Jeanette and family

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

In my father's house, there are many rooms. Bobby, Sharon, Dave, Linda, Julie and Quinton...Please take comfort in knowing that Ms. Bertha is with your father and they are together once again. Stay strong and keep on leaning on God and you will all be as one in the kingdom of heaven.

I was lucky enough to have been a Bertha's customer several years ago while working nearby. The girls at work always told me to pick up lunch at Bertha's, and let me tell you, I was always glad I did! I remember being a block down, and the smell alone would bring you in! That was the best southern cooking in Charleston, served by such loving women, who obviously loved what they did! Please take care of Bertha's legacy...she tought you well! She will be missed.

At this time of mourning I would like to say that She will never be forgotten but surely missed. Know that God and he alone can ease your pain. Draw nigh unto him and he will to you. You will see her again with that big smile and loving heart. She was like a mother to all who knew her. So we too mourn her death. Keep god first and all will fall into place. Much Love to the family.

A precious Rose has been plucked from your Garden a MOTHER who nourish, and cherish each of you. I know that it hurts because I also had a precious rose plucked from my Garden in 2006. If you trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, and keep his word you will see your MOTHER again.

May GOD continue to be with each of you, and heal your Broken HEART.
