I delivered Meals On Wheels to Mr. Berrier and he was always such a joy to see on Monday mornings!! I visited him several times at Hewitt and he was always so appreciative of my visits. Will miss him dearly. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers!

Very sorry we missed the visitation. R.L. will be fondly remembered both from my childhood in Eddy and as a good neighbor here in Waco. Our thoughts will be with you at this time.

1 Corinthians 4:2 states that "a steward must be found faithful."
Mr. Berrier was a faithful steward, first to his Lord, then to his family and to the church he loved, Western Heights. He served The Lord with gladness there; he is an example to many younger men seeking to serve Him.
He was always kind and I never saw him without a smile on his face; he enjoyed people with graciousness and respect.
His family is his legacy as they carry on the character of both Mr. and Mrs Berrier.
To the family, Nancy and I want to express our sympathy with gratitiude to the Lord for knowing them both.
