Uncle Bernie you will be missed by all of your family. Even though over the years families lose touch, they still keep each other in their hearts....sometimes things just get in the way of people being together. I have so many memories from our visits to your house when I was younger. It is nice to think of you with Grandma and Grandpa...even though she is probably getting on you about something!! We all will be reunited one day but until then rest in peace. Watch over your children, they still need their father's loving care and keep your beautiful grand children and great grand children safe by watching over them also. Hold that beautiful grandson in heaven till his mommy can be with him again. May your children one day find the peace in their hearts from knowing you are with everyday of their lives. RIP Uncle Bernie.
