Obituary for Lawanna "Lou" Bertschi

Her Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of her as gone away -
Her journey has just begun
Life holds many facets
The Earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
can really pass away
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved
is ever lost -
And she was
loved so much.

All that we are
And
Ever hoped to be
We owe to our Mom
Terri, Tracey, Trisha, and Todd

We will miss her so much. She lived next to me (Gigi) when I was a child. She was so much fun, she watched us, I watched her gang & our son Monty watched Chelsea. She was one of the best friends anyone could have. Our sympathy goes out 2 the family.

My Sister Victoria Ann Witt had written this poem for such a time like this..
God Bless

When I Go Away
When I go away;
Will you remember me,
The one who brought forth many wonderful colors of life?
There within you: the question lies unanswered: to open a book of life.
To span the possibilities, of finding.
I'm not really away; but live within the walls of your mind, which has many rooms to stay.
I will be there to give you smiles and joy of memories I left you. Of Good Thoughts.
I will never go away; As Long As You Remember....

Lawanna and I worked together at the Kent State University Library. For her last couple of years here, before she retired, her desk was next to mine. She was a lovely lady, very generous and kind. She always had a bowl of candy on her desk for our student employees and staff members to partake from. My sincere condolences on your family's loss.

My heart is filled with sorrow and pain and i know that more than anything you would tell me that everything is ok and that i am the strongest person you know so i need to hold my head high and push forward. I'm trying Gram i really am!! I just feel so empty inside. When i get sad or have a bad day and especially when things are good i just pick up the phone and you are on the other end to remind me who i am and how to handle things.
I promise to try hard for you. I love you so much

If not for her, my family would have missed a lot of love as our families became one.
