Not sure what to say?

Words aren't much, but sometimes they are all you have. What a sad loss to our great Nation and to all of us who knew and loved him. Bernie was a fighter in so many ways and for so many reasons. It was a high honor for me to have known him. RIP Tiger...prayers to family and friends. Here is a toast to you with Jordon Chardonnay.

It is still hard to believe that Bernie lost this battle, but God needed a special Angel.

Bennie was owned by several of my English Setters. I could have never asked for a better loving home. We had so many great long distance calls over the past 15 years and will miss hearing from him to talk about dogs and politics..

I'm so sorry for you and your families loss of this great man Elizabeth. God Bless you all..

Rest in Peace Bernie....

What an honor for me to say that I knew this honorable man. Condolences to his sister Charlotte and to the rest of the McLaughlin family
