married his wife after just 6 months of dat-
ing. The dynamic duo remained inseparable
for over 50 years. Like most, they endured

greatest joy had been watching his grandchil-
dren play sports and perform in theater. Be-

BERGER In Memory of Reneé Berger
April 7, 1955 - February 15, 2019
From our wedding,
from the Song of Solomon:
I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.

When you come to visit me in my dreams,
you always seem to be happy. That’s good.

I love you very much, and I always will.

I miss you terribly.

Proverbs 3:15
She is more precious than rubies, and all the
things thou canst desire are not to be com-
pared unto her. Length of days is in her right
hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all
her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to
them that lay hold upon her, and happy is
everyone that holdeth her fast.

How profoundly we miss you.
