Dear family of John Berra,
I offer you my sincerest sympathy over the death of your father and grandfather. I will offer a Mass for his eternal happiness with God and God's blessings on all of you. I had kept intouch with John, especially at Christmas time, and for the past several years he had sent me photos of all of his children and grandchildren. My kind regards particulary to his son Joe.
