Marcie and family,
We just wanted to send our love and sympathy and let you know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. That's a great picture of old Bernie. I don't know how recent it was taken but he looks just like how I remember him. I hope you can find comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering and in a much better place. Hopefully my Mom(Fay) will be on his welcoming committee.
I love you Marcie. Take care.
Love, hugs and kisses,
Southranch AKA Marie (Shiah) Carberry. xoxoxox
