To the Berard Family and Extended family,
I am so sad to hear about the passing of Mr. Charlie. Heaven truly welcomed a very special angel just like Mrs. Jenny. I remember both of them from the days my precious deceased son Charlie and my loving son Beau played baseball. He and Mrs. Jenny were always at the ballgames and they were always so kind and loving to everyone. I pray that Mr. Charlie and Mrs. Jenny are once again reunited with my precious boy and maybe they are attending a baseball game in heaven. Mr. Charlie was a simple, kind and loving man. My prayers to the entire family and may Mr. Charlie Rest In Peace.
