I was sadden to hear of the passing of Mr. Berry. My thoughts and prayer are extended to the family at this time of loss. It is tough to lose a love one, but as a Christian, we can celebrate his homecoming with the Lord and claim the victory in Jesus.

May God bless you during these difficult times. Call upon him and he will sustain you.

In his love,
