Dear Berger family,
We just heard the sad news about Louise and our hearts go out to all of you, as we understand the pain. It will be the memories that will keep her alive in your hearts and bring a smile to your face.

Debbie, I so wish we had known sooner but that is a hazard of living away from Union Hall (Reta was out of town). Your Mom and Dad both have a special place in my heart and they are good memories. From spending the night, to working in tobacco, to going to Myrtle Beach. She will be missed greatly.

You are in our thoughts and prayers,
Ed and Karen Korcel

My memories of Ms. Louise will always be Christmas at my Aunt Aina's. I enjoyed kitchen clean up and dishes being done with her. Ms. Louise was a matriarch and I will greatly miss seeing her at Aina's Christmas dinners for many years to come. My heart is with my Uncle Mike, Aunt Aina, Dan, Megan, Ethan and Ryan and the rest of the Berger family. "To Live In Hearts We Leave Behind Is Not To Die"
All of our love,
Matt, Hazel, Sy and Aina Mae Reese
