"Whenever you're going thru hard times, there is another side. And if you have faith, if you have perseverance and you're willing to surrender and trust God and other people around you. Then there are amazing things that can happen through our lives. Hard times are given to us unfortunately, but when we persevere and we come out on the other side, more purified, stronger and ready to take on the next challenge," Berzas told KATC.
