WITH Valentine’s Day around the corner, the Berea Mail is on a mission to share the love. Last week, we invited the Berea community to send us a few words to attach to our cupid’s bow and the community spoke up. We received messages of love in all its forms, to friends, family members, spouses, partners and pets! These sweet messages brought a tear to our eyes. Here’s to the month of love!
