Not sure what to say?

My stepbrothers David, Dylan, and Douglas are never far from my thoughts on a regular day... And seeing this in my email today prompts me to send out extra hugs & love. Losing one's father is never easy, no matter how much time passes.... xoxo

Dear Carla,
I was happy to meet you at BHS Reunions. Phil was an outstanding member of our class and a shining
example of what a citizen of our earth should be. You and his family are in my thoughts.
Sincerely,
Marilee Goodwin Maslin

This is sad news with the loss of a wonderful and wise man, Phil Berry.
I, as a member of San Benito Conservation Alliance, have been fortunate to meet him as he fought for our environmental causes in San Benito County. His humor still brings laughter to our hearts. Reading the outstanding life history is an inspiration we need and are blessed with. Phil's exceptional accomplishments and activism for Nature
and its precious natural resources will continue on.

David, Douglas and Dylan,

It is hard to say goodbye to one's Father. We know you will miss him and we are sorry.

Phil was a tremendous person and one that took time to help us in San Benito County. I had the great pleasure of meeting Phil a few years ago when he and other like minded people met with the County Planning Department.

I was fortunate to have been at that meeting and will always remember his dedication and concern in attempting to protect our Ag land and open space.

I will always remember his willingness to support those of us that ran for office and appreciated his generosity.

David, Dylan, and Douglas~
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is with you all and the rest of your family. Your dad was a passionate force of nature which is brilliantly evident in you, his sons and continues on vibrantly in each of your lives. My thoughts & prayers are with you and my
arms send distant hugs.
Lots of Love-

His life made a difference...what a gift to the world.

Carla:
My condolences on the loss of your husband. May the wonderful memories that you shared with him continue to provide a measure of comfort
to you until God's promises are fulfilled. Psalms 37:11,29.
