Some are so very much loved that they will never be forgotten. Guess, Jim Berg is one of those.What a warm-hearted and loving person he and his beloved wife must have been to raise a daughter like theirs. Praying that the two of them will always watch over their little girl.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends that has lost this wonderful man. But especially to Mic, Shane and their children. Debbie had been my childhood friend and best friend all of our lives. When she met Jim I witnessed their deep respect, friendship and true love. They were made for each other. Soon Jim and I weren't just great friends we became family. He was a great husband, wonderful dad, and my best friend. And to be able to say that, I realize how blessed my life has been having Jim in it. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. My God Bless his Family.
