Donny and entire Berdis Family, I will never forget your dad, especially how much he yelled my name out at football game for the coach to put me in. He was a great man, loved by all. My and my family's thoughts and prayers are with you.

Chris,Kim,Bree,Michael,&Christopher,
Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household world that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well.
By Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918)
Canon of St Paul's Cathedral
We are so sorry for your loss you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love Brenda & Boys

Aunt Louise, Nikki and the rest of the Berdis family,
Uncle Tom was a great uncle and godfaher. I have many great memories of him growing up since we spent almost every weekend together! I will never forget riding to camp in the back of his truck singing all the way. My favorite story is of him shooting the turkey that was chasing after Nikki!!! Sometimes I even find myself saying his favorite dinner time saying "ye who eats the fastest gets the most" He was a great uncle and will will be missed by everyone! I love you all and I am so sorry that I can not be there with you during these hard times, but you can call me whenever you need to. Love Margaret

To Tom's family,
I was saddened to hear of Tom's passing.
I bowled with him for many years in the 70's and 80's. He was a pleasure to be around because of his outgoing ways. I shared many meals and beverages with him, before and after our games truly enjoying his company.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.I will ALWAYS remember his famous quote after getting "tapped" on a strike attempt....
GIVE ME MY HITS!!!!
God Bless...
