Our love and condolences to the Berry Family upon the loss of your beloved Louise. Louise was a very conscientious, caring individual who loved sharing her hobbies or passions with others. She loved people and no matter whether she had known a person for a long time, or just a short time, if her heart led her to do something for them, she followed through, as she did by surprising me with a poem at the service of our aunt Ruth Pearl Harvell almost nine years ago.
Louise's presence will be sorely missed in her family, in the community and by all who loved her.
May God strengthen and embrace each of you as you grieve her loss.

Love & Friendship,
Henry "Sonny" & Carolyn Ward Williams
