Dear Susanne, when I read this news today it came as such a shock. I had sent Brian an email this morning which bounced back, and then when searching for a way to contact, I found this obituary.
Annette and I send our heartfelt condolences. We have had Brian and yourself very much in our thoughts and prayers these past months.
Brian was a very dear friend and though it is so long since we have seen each other, I have always appreciated the email catch ups at times of birthdays and Christmas. Somehow we have felt close to you and Brian though far away.
Sending our love and prayers,
Frank and Annette

Brian Berry's gentleness and graciousness made you forget what a perceptive and incisive theologian he was. I have not seen him or Susanne for some years. I am so sad to learn of his death. My heart goes out to Susanne and his family.

Dr. Berry was my teacher when I was a student at the Ecumenical Institute at St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore and later was my colleague when I joined the E.I faculty. Brian was an inspirational teacher. In his gentle, kind, and compassionate manner, his faith shone brightly. I was saddened to read of his passing in the Baltimore Sun, and I extend my deepest sympathy to all his family.
