Happy retirement to my dear and wonderful mother Mrs Olive Berlin of Southfield, St Elizabeth, who will be officially retiring from business after 40 long years- Wow.
Mom I've many treasured memories of serving in the shop, sometimes I reminiscence of all the good and the bad times.
God knows you have done your best, you gave 40 years to people in the community and majority of them are going to miss you terribly. There comes a time in one's life when they have say goodbye to some things that they cherish and mother that time has come for you.
I want you to take it easy, dont worry about a thing cause everything is just going to be fine.
You just relax under the number 11 tree in your reclining chair that Vern bought you and just thank God for all your blessing. (and boy he has surely blessed you)Amen
Sorry I'm not there to see you serve the last Red stripe and weigh the last pound of flour! But I will see you soon.
I pray that God will give you health and strength to carry on for a long time.
God has blessed me, Vern and Dick with a wonderful creation "The World Greatest Mother"
I love you dearly.
Stay sweet.
Daughter Judy XX
