Dee,

My family and I are praying for you and your family during this time of mourning. I know that you will miss your mother dearly. I hope that her life and her legacy will live on through the many memories you and your family share. You shared much about her life with your team and we were inspired by her full, blessed life. You are a reflection of her compassion for others, her ambition and unselfish love, Dee. You are truly blessed beyond measure to have had such a mother.

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

The Gaston Family

Dee and Andy,
I was so sad to read that your mom had passed. I remember her hosting Camp Fire Girl meetings at your house. She was always so kind to me and always welcomed me into your home, even through the Hammond and TCW years, when I'm sure she, like my mom, was pretty fed up with the lot of us!
I know that she would be very amused to learn that I teach teenagers now - that's karma, I guess.
Best to you both and your families from all of the Bergheims.

I Love you and miss you, Mom.
I was blessed to have you as a mother. I hope that I wasn`t as bad, as I have come to realize, I might have been, as my fatherhood experiences have taught me.
I will meet up with you again, in heaven, I know one day.
With all my love, Andy.
