On behalf of the Booker family, I extend deepest sympathy in the passing of Bro. Bernard. He was a wonderful person and will surely be missed. Though your hearts may be sadden by this loss of one who left us at a young age, may you be comforted in the precious memories you hold so dear. He fulfilled God's purpose for his life. May the peace of God be with you now and in the days ahead knowing that Bernard is resting and at peace. John 14:18: "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

As you heal, may you find confort that Bernard won't be sick anymore, and will be with God forever.
