Janet and family,
Again would like to offer my condolences. I agree with Jon Yonko’s class icon assessment. One of the problems with Berwyn however was that he was one of the few who could and would dance. That left the rest of us standing around jealouse while just pretending to be cool – for most of us that took a lot of pretending. I am glad i knew Berwyn. Other than the circumstances, it was a pleasure to meet BJ and Michael. I will be prayng for you all.
God Bless You,
Barron
Janet and family,
It was with great sadness that I received the news about Berwyn. He was that special “spark” in our high school class. I am so glad I got to see him at the reunion last year. I was also so pleased to visit with you and become acquainted. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and for the future as you move through this difficult time.

Janet and family,
You have our heartfelt condolences on your loss. We will miss Buck; we hope to be there Thursday afternoon and Friday.
If there is anything, within our power, we can do to help you, please just say the word. I’m so glad we were able to get together at the reunion–even then we didn’t have sufficient time to chat.
Be blessed and know we grieve with you. Our prayers are with you.

Janet and Family:
You all are in my prayers and have condolences. Berwyn will truly be missed. I do know how you feel as I lost my husband 27 years ago due to a heart attack.
Janet,
Death is a difficult concept to grasp, and particularly so in Berwyn’s case for me. He was the icon of our class and I thought would be around for a long time despite his previous heart problems.
I wish I would have had more time to talk to him at the reunion. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Jon & Lin
Janet, Verona and family,
I was really overwhelmed when I received the news about Berwyn. He was one of my classmates I will never forget. Life is so precious we must live it as well as we know how. Berwyn is still with us in the eyes of your children and grandchildren. You are so fortunate to have family in this time of need.
Our Prayers are with you.
