Timmy...I am still having such a hard time....my mind knows what has happened but my heart and my body are fighting it..I miss you all so very much...and I know you are all at peace and happy on the other side but I am struggling with the loss...I am sad and I don't know how to get through...I have been having panic attacks and the doctors have me on medication to help...and they are a little bit...the attacks make me feel like I can't breath. I am also seeing a grief counselor..a new one this week..I am looking forward to it...nothing will ever take away the missing of all of you but hopefully some day when my heart accepts it I will be able to move forward and smile at all the wonderful memories. Please come and visit...you Mom and Dad..I need to know you are near. Love forever to all of you..Susan xoxoxoxoxo

Timmy Timmy Timmy...I keep saying your name over and over and over..hoping that you will say "what do you need"? You always would say that and help out whenever you could! There is such an ache deep inside of me that seems to get worse as your birthday approaches on Saturday, Dec. 28. I remember the day you were born and how proud Dad was that he had another son. It tears me up inside. I miss you so much. I hope some day the pain will subside...right now it doesn't feel like it ever will. Winooski Fire did a salute to you and our family in memory of you and mom in front of the house yesterday (Christmas Day). It meant the world to us. There was Mike Antoniak driving the Tower 4 truck. He and his family miss you as much as we do and he is taking good care of us. The whole fire dept has been wonderful. I hope you know how much they cared about you and how much you were loved by all. God, I miss your hugs and your smiling face and that beautiful singing voice you had. I hope you are at peace little brother. That is the only thing that can bring me (our family) peace...xoxoxoxo

December 24, 2013

Love you heaps and heaps little brother. Forever in my heart.I wish I could have helped heal your pain. I wish you would have let me.I will never stop being sad...I will never stop missing you...I will never stop loving you...eyeruvroo!!!! Figure it out..love always, Susan xoxo

November 30, 2013

Timmy...do you know how much I love you? How much I miss you? Do you know how devastated and sad we are that you are not here with us...it is like you and Mom have gone on a trip together and will be coming back...so I sit in the chair facing the door so I can see you when you return...but neither of you step through..will the pain and heartbreak ever heal..will the sadness be replaced with smiles...at this moment I cannot imagine that to be true.....

Dear Timmy, The days are not getting any easier. Everyone tells me they will. It is hard to imagine but I know someday they will. I miss you so much. There are no words to describe what he was like to lose you that day or to describe the incredible struggle you had with your addiction. I know you wanted to be free of it. I just wish there was another way. I need you so much. I want my little brother back. I am so very sad...please be at peace. I know you can see now that your life did matter. That we all loved you and were proud of you. Thinking of you every day and thanking God that you were my brother for the short time I had you here. I just want to feel your big bear hug again. All my love....Seester

I wish with all my heart that I could have just talked to you, held you and let you know that I truly understand your pain. The pain of losing you is slowly killing me I fear. Please, will you still come hold my hand when it's time like you said you would? Please let your siblings know somehow that your happy and okay. You are loved and adored by many more than you could ever realize. I love you Timmy Bergeron...with all of my heart and soul.

Thoughts and prayers from our family to yours. Rest in Peace Brother we got the watch. -- Almaville Fire Rescue-Smyrna, TN (Brian Farris former EJFD)

Bernard Valley

October 13, 2013

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My deepest sympathies to the Bergeron family. I went to school with Tim. We acted in many plays together. His love of playing the sax earned him the nickname among his closest group of friends: "Timmy Tunes." He could light up a room, an audience, too. He was a good friend to all of us. His kind and gentle spirit will always shine. He was an amazing person. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. In sympathy, Heidi (Plant) Mosher

Timmy,
I have known you since I was little. My heart hurts knowing I will never see you again. (Specially on my parents poker nights when my dad and everyone are just goof balls) I still remember the card you gave me on my graduation day/night that said from uncle timmy. I had a blast watching you and my dad being goofy with the keg. Who would have known the last time I would see you is when you came to bens house a couple weeks ago. Were going to miss having you around. My thoughts and prayers are with the bergeron family as well as the WFD family?

Laurie Shaw - McKee

Timmy, the tears will never stop, the pain will never go away. You are loved and admired so much by so many. Please help us all to heal. I never thought anything could hurt as bad as when my mom passed but losing you truly does. Rest in peace my precious little cousin. I know you are with God and the Angels. Please take care of your sisters and brother. They (we all) need you now more than ever.
