Hey Bob-O... We just laid Mr. Berger to rest at Holy Sepulcher and of course we had to go say hi. Kathy, Erik, Patty and Mark were there too. You are in such a nice spot to visit. Crazy how its been 24 years since the tragedy. You overcame this world to be with our Lord in Paradise. My friend once told me that time in heaven doesn't exist. We grieve and miss with hearts broken in slow motion. You will blink and we will be together. I love you my friend.....say hi to my mom and dad for me.
