Dear Bernie,
There just are no words to express how very sorry I am for your loss. Your brother's life was cut way too short. With this tragedy coming on the heels of your father's passing, it is all too much. Be gentle with yourself as you mourn both their losses. And know that you have friends who care about you and want to be there for you. Lean on them.
With a heavy heart and deepest sympathy,
Karin

Bernie,
This grief upon grief is beyond comprehensible. You are very important to those who know and love you, so please take care of yourself. Give your mind and heart a chance to heal with lots of space and time. Allow yourself to be cared for by the prayers, thoughts, and wishes of your family and friends. Live one step at a time. "Yard by yard, life is hard; inch by inch, life's a cinch." Well it's never a cinch, but we are holding you up. Consider yourself hugged.

Nobody was prepared for Jonathan's hasty departure. Perhaps his dad needed him by his side. How lucky we were to have known him. What a generous man he was. A man with unlimited imagination, insatiable appetite and genuine concern for his friends. What outrageous times we had together. We laughed so hard at times we nearly broke our ribs. Our ole buddy will be missed, but never forgotten.

September 15, 2010

Bernie, if I had a thousand tongues, I still could not verbally express my sympathy. I will continue to pray for strength for both you and your family. As always, if I can do anything for you, please let me know. Your co-worker, Chris Jones-Fuller
