Eve and Family,

We were sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Mother. You were her caregiver and confidant during her illness and God has a special blessing for you. I know the pain of losing a Mother, but be encouraged that "Joy will come in the Morning"! Remember the wonderful times you had with Mom and that her transition was God's will.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you and we are there for you just as have been there for us in the passing of so many in the Berry/Brinkley family.
