Love you and will NEVER forget you.
Thank you for all the days we shared be it good or bad, they were days shared with my 'other' dad.
So glad you can now be reunited with Olza, whom I know you missed more than anything else in this world.
May you find peace in eternal life with the Lord our Saviour.

To my dear Onke,
The memories that I will hold dear are of the gatherings we shared as a family. The ways that you showed your adoration and love will not be forgotten and make me smile.
I did also see the joy my children were able to bring to you.

I don't know what I'm going to do now without your random facts, quick wit, culinary lessons, morning coffee clutch, honey do list, most of all my companion, my proxy dad. So glad you were a part of not only my life but taking my family to be a part of yours.
Will miss you with all my heart Albert Bernhardt, until we meet again. I'll love you always.
Linda, Gregg and little Kilometer (Miles)

An amazing man, strong, stubborn, kind, loveable, hard working, funny, and so many more words could describe Mr. Berhardt> To know him was to love him. You are now resting in peace and harmony with your Dearest Love Mrs. Bernhardt and of course my "Oma" and your Mother. Mr. B had a soft side to him and I was honored to have shared that special moment with him. Three yrs to the day 12/10/2010 at his beloved wife's wake. He was never afraid to express the love for his family. But to see him break down and cry said so much about him. He missed her so badly and told me "reuniting with her would be the best day at the end of his journey in this life" Well, Mr. B you had an amazing journey the life you created for your family speaks for itself. Thank you for so many wonderful memories I have been a part of your family for 31yrs. What a legacy you leave. I've listened to many stories and loved every last one of them. Although your presence will be missed, your smile, laugh, jokes and dry sense of humor will never be forgotten. FYI, I got your jokes Mr. Bernhardt. Please don't worry about your family they are strong, be proud, you taught them well. I am so glad my Lily was able to visit with you "she called you "OPA" . I love you and will miss you. You will forever be in our hearts. Candy and Family
