Dear Denise and Rey. I was so sad to learn of Berna's Passing, If I had not met her at the luncheon given in her Honour by Sally Sankowich I would not be here writing to you,I had tried to contact her for at least 18 months-to no avail except for a brief answer--I am alright dont worry. I will always think of her and Joe with so much love and thanks for the Wonderful life they set up for me. Much love along with sadness to you both. June Simon and her Family.(need your address orphone #) xoxo
