Mrs Vienna - Lesley Anne Berry - R. I. P

[Blue Budgie]

So sorry to hear about your sad loss mate. Another Blue taken too soon.

I don’t really know what I’m doing on here at this time, but I need somewhere to put down my feelings.

I’ve just lost my wonderful partner of 18 years, Lesley Anne Berry, or to all of you, Mrs Vienna.

She taught me so many things, including how to cook, and I learnt so much about the great Mercer-Allison team.

We visited all 48 of the continental United States, and she’d also done an Alaskan cruise, before we met.

She first went to watch City at the age of six, when her parents couldn’t find a babysitter. Her Mum had an appointment at the hairdresser,s, and her Dad wasn’t going to miss his regular trip to Maine Road, so her Mum said, "You’ll have to take her with you".

Her first trip abroad was to Vienna to witness the first European trophy for City. She hardly missed a game in those days, though her parents wouldn’t allow her to travel to away games.

Our first match together was the home fixture against West Ham on 23rd September 2006. Samaras scored both in a 2-0 win.

I first heard the news of Sheikh Mansour's takeover in a text to from her, which went something like this: "There are rumours that a rich Arab is buying City."

She’d lived with poor health for many years, but she was determined to get to as many games as possible. Her last visit to Etihad was for the victory over Ipswich. She loved Erling, so it is rather fitting that the last match she saw was one, which featured another hat-trick for him.

Rest In Peace, my daRling. I will never forget our wonderful time together.

She sounds like she was a top bird mate! Be happy that you did get to do all those things together, created all those memories, all the laughs and the good times. You found each other and did it all together.

The love of my life was a girl I knew from being 15-18. I went to uni and we lost touch. The next time we spoke was 20 years later and we both told each other that throughout our adult lives we’d often thought of each other and wished we’d ended up together. I thought it was just me that thought like that and she thought it was just her.

But our paths didn’t cross for years, I have never been on social media so was impossible to search up, and when we finally did speak she was already married with a kid so it was too late. We never did end up together.

She got ill last year and died earlier this year. It broke my heart.

We never did end up together but you and your missus did, so hold all those great memories close and remember them fondly because you were both fortunate enough to have them.

If you’re at the match on Saturday, let’s hope the Blues win in memory of her.

All the best to you and all your close friends and family!
