Dear Mr.& Mrs. Berg,

Mary Pat, John, and Chris,

Even though its been years since I've seen you guys Johnny has always been in my memories of the past. Growing up as kids he was a fun loving guy and always had a smile on his face no matter what was going on. He was a great guy and I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

Mary Pat, John and Christopher -
I am so sorry to hear about Johnny. I will forever remember him as my first love. A crazy, fun-loving guy who cranked up anything by Hank Williams, Jr., loved to boat and fish, and who was always up for an adventure. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, and I am so very sorry for your loss.

John,
I am so sorry about the loss of your son Johnny. I had the pleasure of meeting him while I lived in Miami when he was in court on a traffic case. He was a very nice person as are you.
