No bond is as great as that between a child and their parent. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I wish there were words that would help ease the pain, but I don't carry them. I take comfort in the fact that I will one day see my father again in heaven, as will you see your mother. There will be an empty spot that resides in your heart, when it becomes overwhelming I take from my memory the precious times I spent with dad, the smile that made me know I was loved, and the memory of his gentle touch. It's hard, I don't believe there is anyone or anything that can fill the void of the loss of a parent, but there's the calm feeling that you receive when you know that they are always with you, they've taught you well, and that you are blessed to have a Christian parent that you will see again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you think back on a life well-lived and filled with love. Sister Bernritter was a joy filled child of God who always had a kind word and a hint of laughter attempting to break free whenever we spoke. Though life was not always kind, she was, and sought to find the will of God in each trial. May the memories bring joy and the strength to endure and bring blessing to your hearts. Love & prayers,
