Still thinking of you, buddy.

I can't believe it's been 8 years since that unfortunate day. It's hard to fathom that you and your wisdom were only 25 and even though I'm now 32 I still look up to you and your wisdom. You're missed my friend.

Berry,
All who knew you were blessed.The world has lost good man, and brother. However, I know God has recieved a good Angel. My sympathies go out to all who were close to you in life.

Dear Babes,
I can’t believe it has already been a month since your passing. I miss you so much that it still hurts beyond my own comprehension and although you touched so many people that continue to miss and love you, no one seems to understand what I am going through. Everyone keeps telling me that these things take time and that things are going to get better but each day without you here this feeling of emptiness and sadness only becomes worse. I know you would understand what I am feeling because you always did, without me ever having to say a word. Everyone keeps asking me what I need to make things better and the only thing that ever comes to mind is simply – You. Each day I wake up looking for a sign, some sort of answer for a new direction I should go in without you and nothing ever comes. I have never felt so lost and alone in my entire life.
Babes, I love you more than I can ever put into words and if I prayed for anything right now is that you were truly aware of this fact. You brought so much love, laughter and friendship into my life that the thought of going through the rest of my life without you is purely unbearable. I have been going through some of the e-mails we used to send to each other multiple times a day, I’ve even gone to far as to hang them up all around our house so I can hear and feel your words and love constantly, reassuring myself just how lucky I was in the first place. One in particular keeps coming to mind, when you were just coming home late from work one night, as it was just a typical day for us but you wrote “…I will see you soon my love...I’ve missed you today and can’t wait to see you…” I can’t help but think we both still feel exactly the same. I love you so much, Babes! …and wish for nothing but to still be with you…I miss you today (like everyday)…and can’t wait to see you! Until then…You always have all my love…your Babes, Gina

Even though I just heard what happened and haven't seen him, Adam will be missed. My sympathy goes out to all friends, family and Sigma Nu's. I do not know what I would do if one of my Tri Delta sisters passed...

Oh Berry, How do I say goodbye? Our journey had just begun. The other half of Mason is gone. Life will never be the same without you. There are so many things that he does that will not be complete without your laughter egging him on. Watching the two of you together was always so much fun. My children were robbed of their Uncle Berry, we were robbed of a best friend and brother. I'm so sorry that this happened. We will all be together again soon. Until then visit us in our dreams. We love you always.
Love,

You added a lot of honor and class to our family, and you made something truly good out of yourself and your life. Even with a lot of hard work, a person can only hope to be as loved and respected as you are. You lived well and looked good doing it. Thank you for making the family look so good. I am Proud to have known you, and honored to be your cousin. Brenda and I will miss you.

Adam, the Berry family and the Sigma Nu brotherhood,
I cannot even express the heart break I felt when I heard of your loss. Although I have not seen Adam in years I remember he had the best smile and most enlighting personality.
I cannot thank you enough for the brotherhood and love you provided to Casey. In this time of need you see the true meaning of friendship and the bond of fraternity brothers. You should be proud of yourselves. I know that I am.
I love you guys, I always will! My heart goes out to Adam's family, friends and brothers.
Love always,
Nikki Crean (Bergin) & family

Oh Babes, I don’t know what to say. I have been trying for days now to figure it out and it’s just not coming to me. You were always the stronger of the two of us and I am at a lost of what to do without you. All I know is that I love you more than I ever thought was possible and I will forever be indebted to you for sharing your unconditional love with me in a manner that I have never known. Thank you so much for all the guardian angles you have sent me, in the forms of the Sigma Nu Brothers and your closest friends and family, to assist in this exceptionally difficult time. You would be so proud of each and every one of them (particularly Chief and Mason), although I already knew you were, but I truly do not know what I would have done without them. I now understand what you meant about the Sigma Nu Brotherhood and the trust, loyalty and respect shared between you and the guys. You will be deeply missed by all in a way that simply cannot ever be expressed in words. I feel deprived and cheated of a perfect future we were meant to share together. Though, I will always be grateful of the exceptional wonderful public and private times we shared. You taught me more about life, love, friendship, pride, self respect and honor than you will ever know and I just can’t imagine one moment in a day without you here in my arms. My heart is completely broken and there is an emptiness in my heart, soul and life that will never be filled again. You touched so many people in so many ways. I am so proud, honored and thankful to be associated with you and I am privileged beyond anyone’s understanding to have shared a love with you that will forever be unmatched. Babes, please rest well, you deserve it so much. Until we are together again, for always, always and always, I’ll be your “Babes” – Gina

A bright light was extinguished on earth with Adam's passing however his light will always burn brightly in the hearts and minds of those who love him, and heaven is a better place because he is there. Our deepest sympathy is with his family and friends. You all are in our hearts and prayers.

I AM STANDING UPON THE SEASHORE. A SHIP AT MY SIDE SPREADS HER WHITE SAILS TO THE MORNING BREEZE AND STARTS FOR THE BLUE OCEAN. SHE IS AN OBJECT OF BEAUTY AND STRENGTH. AND I STAND AND WATCH HER UNTIL AT LENGTH SHE HANGS LIKE A SPECK OF WHITE CLOUD JUST WHERE THE SEA AND SKY COME TO MINGLE WITH EACH OTHER. THEN SOMEONE AT MY SIDE SAYS: "THERE SHE'S GONE."
GONE WHERE? GONE FROM MY SIGHT, THAT IS ALL. SHE IS JUST AS LARGE IN MAST AND HULL AND SPUR AS SHE WAS WHEN SHE LEFT MY SIDE, AND JUST AS ABLE TO BEAR HER LOAD OF LIVING WEIGHT TO THE PLACE OF DESTINATION. HER DIMINISHED SIZE IS IN ME, NOT IN HER. AND JUST AT THE MOMENT WHEN SOMEONE AT MY SIDE SAYS: "THERE SHE'S GONE." THERE ARE OTHERS EYES WATCHING HER COMING AND OTHER VOICES READY TO TAKE UP THE GLAD SHOUT, "HERE SHE COMES". AND SUCH IS DYING.

Adam
Today my sad heart tightened as I studied the faces of those who loved you.
You were a mother’s perfect pick for her child, and love you she did. Without pretense you set into motion a love that could compose music in her eyes. Now you’re haunting absence demands comfort for infinite sorrow in those same eyes.
As everyone else does, for many reasons I wish there had been more time but you chose the path of a higher realm. In the last picture taken of you, it appears that you’re looking out into heaven; my speculation is, you found it.
Thank you for being you. Sleep well

A light from the family is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in the home
Which never can be filled
We have to mourn the loss of one
We would’ve loved to keep
But God who surely loved him best
Has sadly made him sleep
I will miss you friend

Please accept my condolences to Adam's family and friends. As a co-worker at Westminster, it was a shock to come to work Monday morning and to hear such terrible news. A special note of sorrow to Gina for your loss especially--I can't make any sense of it at all. All of you please take care-- my thoughts are with you.

Adam was full of charisma every time I saw him, and it was easy to know why people of all walks of life gravitated towards his company. He had a smile that put people at ease and a cool presence that reminded everyone of the important things in life. He's greatly missed, but I know we all carry a piece of him with us.

My heart goes out to you as parents and family and I pray for your continued comfort. Please accept my deepest condolences.
Sincerely,

Adam is in my Westminster MBA class this summer. This is the second class Adam has been in of mine. I believe I had him in his first MBA class. I've seen him mature as a student and gain academic and professional confidence in the last year. Please let me know if you would like to have a copy of his last research project. We'll miss him.

Our son, David Rogers, is currently home for a two week visit and will return to Salt Lake this Wednesday. David, Everett's college roommate, is also a Sigma Nu and would have been on the trip with all the guys had he not been here on vacation. When Andrew first called David to tell him of Adam's death, we were all shocked. Speechless. Adam was only 2 days younger than our David. We cannot possibly imagine your grief and loss. David, my husband, Dan, and I send our heartfelt sympathy to your entire family. We will keep you and Adam's Sigma Nu buddies in our prayers.
