As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
I had the pleasure of singing at her birthday celebrations. She was a gentle soul, who was loved by many. It gives us great comfort to know that, she's now resting in the arms of the Almighty. "To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord".

THE NEW FRONTIER
By: Dr. Joseph Webb

When I have lived LIFE's fullness here,
And when I see sweet Death appear,
I shall whisper in her ear:
"Come. Lead me to The New Frontier."

Because I am a pioneer,
I shall go without a fear.
I'll find greater paths to clear
When I reach The New Frontier,

Mother Berger has been a part of Cedron Brook Baptist Church and my life since before I was born. I loved being with her at the church's dinners, picnics and all you-can-eat restaurants. I remember her love for others and me. I will always remember her yummy pound cakes and electric smile.

I had the pleasure and honor of knowing Hilda Berger for many years. She was Mother Berger to me and I was one of her many "children". Mother Berger was a very loving and giving lady. She had a megawatt smile that lit up the room. Her calm words of wisdom and wit made me feel 100% and loved. I will miss her words, laughter and mirth.

Stephon Scriber

May 28, 2021

I am so grateful that the Lord blessed me with the friendship of Mother Berger. She had an awesome sense of humor. Her full-throated laughter was a joy to be around. She will be sorely missed by me and my team at Stephon Scriber State Farm Office. May she rest in peace.

Melody Webb

She was known as “Mother Berger” and was beloved to me and so many. I met her through my dad’s church and came to know her for her loving and faithful attention to those who were sick and shut in. Prior to the advent of the COVID-19 Pandemic, her missionary work was as regular as clockwork with at minimum weekly visits to fellow parishioners and Christians who resided in nursing homes. Dating back to 1996, she made weekly visits to Carroll Manor and prior to that, from 1977 until its closure she faithfully visited with her friends in Christ at the then-city nursing home D.C. Village. Her Christian love for others compelled her to volunteer at Forest Haven and to extend her hand to others in many others venues and under a range of circumstances. My own children remember her for her mouthwatering pound cakes which she so generously provided to others. I am thankful for the great friendship she provided to my father and our family. Blessings and peace to her family members and the many friends who, like our family, loved and deeply admired her as a pillar of the D.C. community. So many contemporary activists and leaders owe a debt of gratitude to Black women and missionaries like Mother Berger. They showed us that we have to keep the faith and provide support and aid to our neighbors even as we press for civil rights and larger goals.

God rest your soul,

Mrs. Melody Webb O’Sullivan and family
