I'll never forget when I was 12 years old attending the "Peace On Earth" International Assembly in Los Angeles in 1969 with Grandma and Grandpa. Nor will I forget that on every occasion they taught us to respect our creator Jehovah. That instruction was greatly appreciated as is evident in the way the instruction continues within each generation of our family. No doubt Jehovah will have a yearning for the work of his hand; he will call and you will answer. Until then, we await that day.

Looking so forward to seeing Grandma and Grandpa Berry again waking up from their sleep. They will be young, happy and healthy ready to farm, garden, and continue canning their Blue Lake/Kentucky Wonder beans and Beefstake Tamaters! Love you 4 Ever

Grandma will surely be missed. She was always so giving and considerate. I hope to be there to welcome her back here, Paradise on earth. So many things I do in my life are based on what she had taught me.
