Dr. Christopher Martin Bernards

Bernards Family,

I never met Dr Bernards personally, but I heard on of his lecutures at American Pain Society regarding his work in CSF PK/PD. ..I hung on his every word. He made outstanding contributions to the field of medicine. I hope others carry forward his legacy and his work....My prayers are with you in this time of grieving.

Larry and I are very sorry for your loss. It's a painful but heartwarming time as you remember all the good he did and the joy he brought his family. Blessings...

My thoughts and prayers go out to your and your family at this time of grief.
Your cousin Susan Myers Nixon

I remember working with him shortly thereafter, and he would say things like, "Your going to be someone's mother...

Elizabeth, my heart goes out to you and your family. I know Chris was your rock and true love. May peace be with you all.
