Mrs Berg was house supervisor at PMH for many years on midnights and I was there for a good deal of them with her. I hope she continues to watch over us as she did in life. Now it is time to rest with the angels

Lorraine was a sweet, dear lady. She and Gene were wonderful people and I am glad I had the opportunity to know them and the entire Berg family. They were wonderful people that my husband has known since childhood, growing up right next door to them. Peace be with them both.
