Roberta Ketch
March 6, 1962 - March 13, 2016
Berta Ketch passed surrounded by her family on March 13, 2016 at Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan. She is lovingly remembered by her husband Steve; daughters Sarah and Whitney; father David Robson; siblings Bonnie, Heather and Dave; numerous family and friends. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, bingo and animals but most of all spending time with family and friends. Berta lived life to the fullest. You always knew when Berta was in the room because of her laughter. She would energize the room! At Berta’s request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Berta's memory to the Canadian Liver Foundation or the Cowichan Valley SPCA. Special thanks to the doctors and nursing staff of CDH for their love and care, your kindness will not be forgotten.
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered 'Come with Me.'
With tearful eyes
We watched you suffer
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.
It's lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day
Life doesn't seem the same
Since you've gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong
We seem to hear you whisper
'Cheer up and carry on.'
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say
'Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping
We'll meet again someday.'
