Dear Berrey's
I can not count the times I spent in this man home. The door always open and welcoming. He had a great love for the youth of our church and serviced us well. All were great times. Our Heaven is brighter tonight because he is shining down on us now. I know my dad was standing at the gate waiting to shake his hand and welcome Sam HOME!!!

"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". My dad went to Heaven on the 5th of May. They are shouting praised to their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hope we see them soon.
