"Dougie" and brothers -- I was so very sad to hear of your mom's passing. Many great memories of the Bernhardt's growing up on Vicksburg! I will pass the sad news on to Ray (currently working in Alaska). My heart goes out to all of you. My prayers are with you.

I worked with Joy when she owned Red Carpet Real Estate several years ago. She was always a "joy" to be around. I have great memories of a classy boss and a patient teacher. Rest well, Joy.

I believe I worked for your mother in the real estate business in Tucson for a few years. It was Red Carpet Real Estate. She was a lovely woman and I really enjoyed being around her. I'm sorry for your loss.

Dear Steve,

I was so saddened by the news of your mother. I always thought of her as a wonderful role model - strong, confident, and successful.

Memories of her will, no doubt, bring you much comfort. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
