Ron: Sorry to hear about the death in your pumpkin family, may I offer
my deepest
condolances.
Have funeral arrangements been made yet for Bertha?
I would be honoured to attend the funeral percession ( I like parades,
even if it 
is to the burial grounds). How many days are you waking Bertha?

.......Your Bud .......Paul
