Condolences to the Family

Yvette, your parents were among the first friends we had in Lititz. Our first apartment had been your parent’s apartment! There was a group of us who almost all lived in one block who spent many good times together. Those memories are precious to both of us.
Your mother and father were so thrilled when you came along. They had wanted a child for years. Of course, when your sons came along, they were the absolute icing on the cake of life for them. They were proud of you and proud of their grandsons.
To lose both your parents so close together is an extra tough reality. Life is full of bumps and you have had two big ones.
May your memories help ease the reality of loss and the loving arms of God hold you and your family extra close.
Gary and Dianne Berlin

Remembering fondly the many conversations we had with Stan and your mom at Glassmyers through the years.
Remembering bringing our youngest son, Mark, to your house many years ago for swimming lessons!
God bless and comfort you all during this time of loss.
