Dear Patsy and family, Our deepest sympathy goes out to you in the loss of your beloved Bernie. Bernie was a good husband, dad and a most proud grandfather to his family. Mazie just made his eyes light up!! He was so very proud of you all and spoke about you often. How sad that Bernie was taken from this world so quickly. May precious memories be of great consolation to you all. And, too, share the funny memories with each other of this very special man. Bet Bernie is talking with Saint Peter about how heaven is run and maybe sharing some suggestions on how to improve things. He was the best and is now free from the terrible disease that took him.
God bless you and keep you all in his special care. Love, Caroline & Don
