UN grand malheur nous frappe.
Alex était ton mari Monica, votre père, ton fils, votre frère; il était notre cousin.
En un tel moment, par delà les océans, les continents, nous avons besoin de rassembler nos coeurs, d'exprimer notre fibre familiale. Nous connaissions Alex enfant, en France, nous avons appris à le connaître adulte au travers de Doris et Roland, ses parents et de ceux qui ont eu la chance de le rencontrer et de nous raconter: son charisme, sa force intérieure, sa gentillesse, son courage en ont fait un homme hors du commun.
Notre famille l'admire, l'honore et le vénère.
Ce n'est pas à vous qu'il est besoin de dire: espérez. Votre grand esprit voit au-delà de l'horizon: vous apercevez distinctement la vie future. Vous êtes de ceux qui savent: vous de ceux qui croient.
Il est toujours le mari, le père, le fils, le frère, le compagnon, le cousin: invisible mais toujours présent.
Il restera pour toujours dans nos coeurs.

To the Berthet Family
We were so sorry when we heard about Alex passing. Cheryl has been keeping us informed throughout his illness. I've always been im-pressed with him, especially at Cheryl and Phils' wedding. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you carry on in these difficult times. "Life is like the blossums of the cherry tree, so beautiful, yet fleeting."

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the Alex Berthet Family,

My deepest sympathies are with you as you cope with the loss of Alex. I will keep all of you in my prayers and know that God's love and strength will carry you through this time of grieving.

Alex, you were a wonderful friend and coworker, and one of the most honorable, kind and faithful people I have ever known. I will always be thankful for and remember the day you prayed with me in the parking lot at work. You will be missed by everyone who had the good fortune to know you.
