To the family of Bernie,

Deeply sorry for the passing of Bernie. May he rest in eternal peace with our loving and merciful Lord. I played many a round of golf with Bernie and always enjoyed his gritty spirit and his kind nature. He clearly lived a long life. May he now enjoy the eternal joy of the everlasting reward we all are striving for.

May our loving God comfort you in your grief.
