To the Berry Family: My deepest sympathy goes out to each and every one of you. What wonderful memories I have of your Mother when she babysat my son, Brent, many years ago, in fact he is almost 40. She was always MAMA B to him and to us, we felt she and your Dad were a part of the family. You were truly blessed to have her in your life.
Sorry about your loss, Hester will be deeply missed.
Hester was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. I would like to thank the family for giving us the priviledge to have her in our home. She has taught me so much in the past few years. I think she took care of us as much as we did her. I will truly miss her. You are all in my prayers. She will live on in our hearts forever. Patsy Chailland
