Dear Berger Family,
I am so sorry to have read of your loss; please accept my sincere condolences. Something that I have personally found to be of great comfort are the thoughts expressed at John 5:28,29 as well as Revelation 21:4. In these verses we find a wonderful hope for the future of being reunited with our loved ones who now sleep, and this shall take place upon the earth the way it was originally intended - free from sickness, suffering, and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family as well. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

Oh wow....where does one begin with this larger than life man....My Uncle Mick - Veronica's Uncle Mick....while our hearts break, and the tears flow - all that I know is that he is in eternal peace - peace from pain, peace from this life that can deal us some "more than hard" cards - he is at last free, happy and flying high! I picture him jumping in a stock car with Pam by his side, driving around on heaven's roads, in that rebel way of his - surrounded by all of our loved ones. ...Mickey was a big and eternal piece of our family - and he WAS just the kind of person, whether family or friend, you are charmed by his Mickey ways - he is definitely one in a million and never another him - God blessed our family with him, and I am so glad to call him my Uncle - Veronica loved her Uncle Mickey so much, I only wish I could have given her more time with him.....but the few times she got to be with him, he made a huge and loving impact, ,, and he is so unforgettable! I could go on forever - but I will stop by saying we love you and will cherish, and miss you forever....and to our family = we love you and all are deep in our thoughts and prayers -. Always...wish we could come back home, but it is impossible, and know that Uncle Mick would totally understand why. I'd say RIP Uncle Mick, but somehow, I just can't see you resting - I see you moving all about, and enjoying those wings! He did love his kids, grandkids, and all of his family members so much - and to who wrote this - You are an angel! With love and heart stricken tears - Penny & Veronica (Stuck in Bako once again.....) <3
