Dear Uncle Eddie, Aunt Violet, & Jim,

I hope during this time you'll be able to think back on the happier times of Bernie's childhood. I know that I have very fond memories of swimming and skating on the pond with Bernie and Jimmie, playing shuffleboard and pinball in your basement, and Aunt Violet making Spaghettios in the middle of the night when we slept over but refused to go to sleep!

Ed, Violet, Jim & Family
May God be your guide in your time of loss. Bernie & I go back a long way. We shared many of memories, some good and some not so good. Bernie struggled here on earth. I hope he is in a better place. If he is, I look forward to seeing him when the good Lord calls me home. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Love in Christ
