A Solemn Anniversary


Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the passing of our dear brother in law Barry Bergquist. It's hard to believe it's been two whole years, yet it only seems like yesterday. Every time we go to a family gathering, we still expect Barry to walk through the door.

He is one of the greatest people Andrew and I will ever know. He was such a strong, dedicated man who was always so willing to help those around him. We miss hearing his beautiful singing voice, his hilarious jokes and impersonations, and how he would call everybody "Bob." And I've never met anyone who loved Slurpees more than him!
So today we want to say how much we love and miss you Barry: our uncle, our brother, but most importantly, our friend. We hope and pray that our little Mason Barry will grow up to be an amazing husband and father like you!

Oh, I am so sorry for you loss. At times like this I am so grateful for the gospel and the joy and eternal peace it brings.

Oh yes! It is that time isn't it? You are a very nice person. This week is another grand aniversary. The water breaking in my chair. That would be a great thing to blog about. I do have pictures. Just Kidding. (no, I do have pictures but I won't blog about it.)

It is nice to finally see a picture of him. We have heard so much about him and never had a face to put behind it. It sounds like Mason will be following in some big shoes!

Barry was one of my favorite people. It's sad to think he's gone.
