Mrs. Berube was a wonderful lady, and a second mother to me when I was growing up with Eric, Randy, and Dinky (Mike). She was a great cook. I always loved it when she asked me to stay and eat with her family. She will be greatly missed. However, the memories of her and the great times I had there with her and her family will flood my mind for a long, long time. Lord bless each of you and may the Lord Jesus comfort you in these times of loss and transition.
