My deepest heartfelt condolences over the passing of Mr. & Mrs. Berkin. They had known my mom and dad since their days of living in Japan. I was so incredibly blessed to have known them myself. Mr. & Mrs. Berkin always made me feel like family. I loved them both very much. They have been reunited in heaven with my mom & dad. No doubt, they are telling stories about all of us. They will be greatly missed. Wish I could have come to pay my respects to both of them. My heart goes out to the family. Whenever I saw them, they always made me laugh. I pray that Mr. & Mrs. Berkin are resting peacefully. Semper Fi. God speed.
