To the Bernal family - we are deeply sorry for your loss and send to you our heartfelt condolences.

We will miss seeing Mr. Bernal smile as he watched over the children playing. We will miss his questions about Russia and chatting with him about Russian cars. We will miss his warmth and the way he always made us feel like part of the Bernal family.

We will forever and fondly remember Mr. Bernal.
