Dear Berry Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am not living in the area now and had not checked or heard of Irma's death until today.
I know this is a very difficult time for you now, but I know if you trust in the Lord, He will give you the strength to get thru this difficult days ahead and will wrap His arms of comfort around you.
It has been a long time since I have seen any of you. I was Ben and Becky's kindergarten teacher and lived across the road from Sylvia. I am presently living in Montana for a couple of years.
May God Bless all of you.
