Lu - I was sadden to learn of Berry's death from my mother on Sunday. In light of the news, I am so thankful I had a chance to see you both when I was out in Seattle for work two years ago. While there has not been much communication between us over the years, you and Berry hold a dear place in my heart, and I will mourn the loss of a fine man, who was also my godfather. I wish I could be there for the memorial service, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers! God bless, Ladson
