demi,thank you for being a part of my family. Your wife and kids love you very much. I know your kids will grow up just the way you want them to. They have an angel now. We will miss you. You will always be in our hearts.

In life impressions are made, in death impressions are left behind. You can smile Demi, for you have touched many lives and left behind the impression of a Good Man who loved his wife, children, family, friends and even strangers. Demi always worked hard and took pride in whatever he did. We would all be fortunate to leave behind such an impression.

Go now, enter into your peaceful rest. You will be missed.

We love you,

The Berkley Family,

Tom, Gayle, Tina and Jermaine



To the family;

Blessed are they that mourn: For they shall be comforted.
