All our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Heaven has welcomed a beautiful angel home who will truly be missed here on earth. To yesterday’s memories, today’s love and tomorrow’s reunion.
To the Berry family, we send prayers to all . We first met Mary Lou and Jerry about 30 years ago when we first came to Linden. They were our first friends. They have always been wonderful and caring friends. Your friendly smile will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing you. God has called an angel home. God bless you dear friend, until we meet again.
We are continuing to pray for all of the Berry Family. She had a smile that would light up the darkest room.
Jerry and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my life mate two and a half years ago and still miss her every day. There were some Bible verses that helped me very much to deal with the loss which I would like to list below. I hope they help a little. John 5:28,29 Jesus promised to resurrect all those in the graves;. so there may be a possibility that you could see her again. Psalm 37:10,11,29, people will live forever on earth. You and she could both be one of these and live together as a family again. Jesus indicated this, also in Matthew 5:5. Revelation 21:1-4, describes the home people on earth will have. God will be with MEN, and will do away with death, sorrow, pain and tears. So, your llife together, here, would last forever, in perfect health. If you would like to call me or text me, my cell number is 761-241-7322. Steve
