Dear Hal, Teri, Sandy, and Brother Charlie and Frieda and Family ALL,
We knew and loved Fred IN first memories of him in his teens ... Through the years, we have followed the Bernstein family's "journey" with appreciation to Charlie....
Our "Bernstein beginnings" began with Your GREAT Great-Great Grandparents Mildred and Fred. It was "Aunt Mildred" (my mother Anna's "Best Friend") who ironed the hem of my wedding dress in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, July 7th, 1957. A beautiful memory.
LONG LIVES ON THE PROUD LEGACY OF FRED.
We are ever with ALL THE BERNSTEIN FAMILY and we thank you, Charlie, for keeping in touch.
Sincerely,
Fredda and Harris Meisel, Santa Barbara, CA

I was sadden to read of your loss. I too have loss dear love ones in death. But my true comfort came from above. As 2 Corinthians 1:3 states, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort." This helps us to appreciate that God can help his faithful servants to endure any problem or challenge. Please look to him to bring true comfort at this sad time. I am again sorrow about your loss.
