So sorry to hear about Bernadine's passing. She was a greatly loved member of our poker group and we enjoyed many laughs and trips together through the years, including casinos, Gulf Shores, Gatlinburg and a cruise to the Caribbean, all with her loving spouse Jack! She will be greatly missed by all of us! Love to her family and to Sammy especially!
