My deepest sympathy to you all for your loss. As we all know, Bernard is in a far better place now, and Heaven now has one more angel. I pray that God will comfort you as you adjust to the changes that this loss brings. And I also encourage you to remember the gift of Bernard's presence in your life, as well as the presence of God.

I knew Bernard for a short time, I had the pleasure of working with him, he was a kind spoken man, always smiling and with a kind word to say, but he is in a better place now, "God called him to rest because he knew best, stay strong family, you will meet again.
