Pete—-so sorry to hear about your loss. Reading obit I notice your father and mine were born just days apart, your father in Arkansas and mine in Oklahoma. I lost my father in Sept 2001, and still think about him daily. Losing a parent even as an adult is tough. Always seems to soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Just know your Berry family thinks about you at times like this. Vanessa Metzger

Peter – So sorry to hear of your loss. Your dad was always great to me when we were growing up. I will be thinking of you in this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I remember our families getting together for a fun evening of games and gab. We pray that your memories will help ease your pain and bring you comfort.
My sympathies to you all. I will so miss that smile and hug every Sunday as well as talking about those Royals! Pete was so positive, an example for us all. May God bless you.
I was so sorry when Trina told me of the passing of her father-in-law. My heart goes out to all the Langstons–such a wonderful family. May the Lord Jesus give you His peace, which passes understanding. Love and God bless.
