    My sincere sympathy at the loss of our cousin Ronnie. He was always the life of the party at our Berkland reunions. I have fond memories of him visiting the farm when we were young. He could always make us smile. I am so sorry I cannot be with you today to celebrate his life, but I hold you close in my heart and pray that your memories comfort you!❤️

    Our condolences to all the Berkland Family. Ronnie will surely be missed. He had a way of always making everyone around him laugh and have a better day. I will always remember the time he and his friends came to visit my family in Houston in the early 1970’s. He was an inspiration to live every day to the fullest. We went to park, the zoo, the botanical gardens, and I think Astroworld. Even in our last visit, a couple of years ago, he made me laugh several times just being Ronnie. He will always be my crazy cousin Ronnie.
    Prayers for all the Berkland Family,
    Roger & Kim Oldigs
