Dear Berger Family,
We were sorry to hear about Mrs. Berger as I have such fond memoirs of her and staying at her house. I am so glad we were able to join the celebration of her 100 years in July as she was a wonderful lady. May God give you peace and know she will be missed by many. You are in our prayers and thoughts.
