Mrs. Berry was my neighbor as a teenager and as an adult she always showed love and affection to my 2 children. She and Alyson used to break sticks together in her yard. She was a wonderful person who will be missed by all that knew her. My heart goes out to her loving family.

Grace was a great friend and neighbor. We have been neighbors since 1981. Grace and Bunny were the first who welcomed us to the neighborhood and they helped us out countless times. Grace loved her yard and shared plants and advice with me. For over 25 years we have shared sorrows and joys. I will miss her dearly. My deepest sympathy goes to her family, she loved you all.
