Dear Melisse and Bobby, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your precious Cheryl...my "Stand In Bride" on February 16th, 1968, at our wedding rehearsal here in Natchez at Trinity Episcopal Church, will always be with us...always. She was a wonderful human being, a talented artist and most special to all who knew her. May God rest her soul and give you all strength and peace.
With our love, John and Valerie Bergeron

Oh, what a sad and stunning loss. Bob and Melisse, you've had the great good fortune to share your lives with a true Southern woman of the highest rank, greatest taste, enviable business acumen and a soft accent that lingers in the mind and heart like the finest of personal scents. How lucky you are! My heart aches for you both. Prayers at this bittersweet time.
