We want to reach out to our community regarding our dear friend and family member, Tim Berger. Tim has recently received a difficult, life-changing diagnosis that will shorten his life. Rather than waiting, Tim wishes to host a "Celebration of Life" this weekend giving him the opportunity to visit, reminisce, and share a final time together.

​Gathering Information:
​Sunday, May 31st from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
​Bayside Manor Chapel, 640 3rd St, Ga***rd

​Tim’s roots run deep here. The son of lifelong Jessenland residents Roy and Catherine Berger, Tim grew up in the area, graduated from Henderson High, and has spent his life as a faithful follower and supporter of the Jessenland community—including being a familiar, smiling face at all the Jessenland and Friends of Jessenland bingos.

​Your presence would mean the world to Tim and his family. Please stop by this Sunday to share a memory and spend some time with him.
