I have such precious memories of sitting in the yard in Bowman on Sunday afternoons visiting with the big Berry family--especially when Aunt Dot and Uncle Dutch and later Aunt Dot and Will came!! I know all the Berry brothers and sisters and Grandmama and Grandaddy are having a family reunion up in Heaven!!

My sincere condolences to all of you. Your mother was very special to me for so many reasons. She and Wil were responsible for me meeting my current husband. I will always remember the wonderful days when they were residents at Sandpiper Village and the special friendship I had with your
mother. May the memories you shared bring you comfort at this time.
In sympathy and love,
