We were very sorry to hear that Aunt Dot passed away. Remember the times when we were young and the visits we had as children? Our mom often brought us over to visit with you guys. It was always a fun day with both of your parents as we played while the "grown up's talked". They were great people and I know they are dearly missed. Our thoughts are with everyone and our prayers are with you.

The Berger Family I was saddened to read of the passing of your mother. I know she was your number one fan. I can remember you mom and dad at all the ballgames. They were loyal fans but just kept in the background and let their sons play ball. She was a super lady and I know she loved you all. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
