Katarina Berndt

We took pictures of a wedding, it was just her and I as my sister had to work and couldn't make it. My mom and i danced, ate a lot of food and just had so much fun. I hold onto this memory as it was one of the first of many that i actually got to enjoy my mom for the person she was.

Today is Valentine's Day. The day you and i would sit on the couch and watch movies and eating so much chocolate. I will forever hold these memories of you in my heart.

Kat you were a very caring and good friend You are missed every day by the people whose lives you touched

You will be greatly missed...

She was such a good woman, funny and direct! Always made me feel Comfortable. And if I was hungry she'd get onto Charlie to take care of me.. she made me laugh and could she talk. Nonstop.charlie and I would giggle. She was A Great Woman! Will be Terribly Missed! She loved Charlie. She is watching over her family. Will miss her Bigtime.

I miss you mommy. I think about you all the time. You mean everything and more to me. I can´t believe that you are gone and it´s been 3 months. You are my favorite, my one and only. I miss your advice so badly. Happy new year, mommy....

Three months ago today I lost you! I was completely devastated last night for the time in 25 years I did not hear "where's my kiss" at the stroke of midnight.
Perhaps someday we shall be reunited.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!
I wanted you, but he wanted you more.
Your forever loving husband,
Charlie

Kat, where to begin. I have so many memories with you. So many times you were there for me and I will never forget any of them. I remember when you used to watch Karyna for me when she was a baby. You were always there no matter what and for that I am grateful to you. I learned many things from you over the years. Remember that time that you were watching Karyna and you called me to bring her clothes as you tried to explain to me what happened and why she needed a new outfit lol. You were the foundation for so many and the light in the darkness. I promise you that I will be here for your children even though they are grown. I will never forget what a wonderful, kind hearted, funny and sweet person you were. You are truly missed by many. Rest in Eternal Peace until we meet again

.

Kat was a wonderful person - always there to help if you needed anything - always had a friendly hello and instant smile when you met her. Cared deeply about her family and treated her friends with all the love in the world. We´ve lost a truly good person - and although she will be sorely missed by all who were lucky enough to know her, she will never be forgotten, as her kind legacy is eternal.

The world lost some brightness but heaven gained a star.
Kat was a driving force behind the success Charlie and I achieved early in our electrical sales careers. She was so encouraging and supportive. Mother, wife, friend, caring, loving, and tough as nails. Her compassion and drive was felt by all. She left a lasting impression within me, and others, I am sure.
God bless.
Paul

Kat, there are no words. Without you there´s something missing in this life. I am so thankful that I was able to get to know you and be part of your family. You were always welcoming and helpful. You gave me great advice even when I was stubborn. Eventually as I got older I remembered what you said . Those stuck with me for years and and..yes I took your advice !You never said no when I needed you . Christopher is so grateful that he has you as his AMA. I´m so grateful he got to create so many memories with you as well. Now you will be his forever angel. Love you

Dear Kat,
We are sad to see you leave us, but you are now in a place where only the brightest and most loving hearts like yours are allowed. We will all see each other again someday and yes, I promise to leave my gun at home. Some may read this and not understand the reference but that´s ok. It was our inside joke and I know your laughing right now while reading this. Until we all meet again, laugh, smile and enjoy paradise. You earned it. Rest In Peace Kat. You were a mother to many and loved by all. You will be missed.
Sincerely Derek

Dear sweet Kat you were loved by many and will be missed dearly, I'm gonna miss our conversations my friend, and that smile that would light up a room, heavens lucky to have such a wonderful shining star I love you my dear friend, rest well, until we me again

This beautiful woman spread a type of love and compassion to others that I have never seen before. She was caring, kind, vocal, sweet and treated everyone like her own child. Not a day went by that I didn´t feel more than cared for by her. Thank you for all of the long talks, the agreements and disagreements, the movie nights, the laughs, and for sharing your loving daughter with me. Thank you for being the person to ask all about my day, every day... Thank you for helping me when I got stuck, thank you for making me feel welcome in your home. Thank you for the well-kept advice and for always looking out for me. I will always think of you and the ways you impacted me forever more. Thank you Kat for everything.

Thank you Kat for all that you did for Renee! I will love and miss you dearly. Rest I´m peace AMA!

I was blessed to be able to know Kat and be her guidance through the hard journey. I am always gonna remember her as a fighter and a sweet woman. May she rest in peace and always smile down on us. See you at the crossroads my friend

She was a loving caring mom to her kids and family, when i would hangout with brandon i would call her second mom and that gave her a smile everytime. She will be missed.

I am at a complete loss of words as I still am struggling to believe all of this. My mom never allowed anyone to go hungry, be sad or have hate in their heart. My mom always made sure people were taken care of and loved. I can just keep thinking of her BIG, beautiful smile and her long beautiful hair. My mom always told me to never give up on my dreams, instead to only fight harder to achieve them. My mom loved watching movies with her kids, we´d eat pound cake with whipped cream and strawberries. She played Grand Theft Auto with me, and would help me win the card off the podium. She´s my good luck charm. I´m so incredibly honored to have been named after my mommy. Katarina and Katie Ariana. Rest easy my beautiful, mommy. This isn´t goodbye. Only see you later.

I loved her so much. Like my own mother. I would´ve done anything for her if she needed me. And I hope one day I can see her again. I know she´s happy now, but I wish I could just spend 1 more day with you:( love you aunt Kat

I should start this off with my condolences, but I am not sad. I am happy. Happy to have known this beautiful soul. Happy that she no longer suffers. Happy to have felt the impact she has had on my family.

Whenever I think of Kat, a singular memory does not come to mind. Instead I am flooded with images of her smile, the sounds of her laughter, and the knowledge of the love and beautiful life she shared with my cousin.

May God rest her soul and allow her to be at peace.

Mourn the loss, celebrate the life.

To the family you have my deepest condolences thank you for welcoming me into your home as well into your family I may not have a funny story to tell but I can save this from the day I met you guys you show me nothing but love and I thank you for that you didn't judge me by my habits you judged me by my love and I appreciate that as well Thank you guys stay strong I remember as long as you keep her memory she is not gone she will stay with you forever

Her being my mom there never was a sad moment, because she would always lighten up the room and the world, not only was she a good mom she was a good person and very very many people think of her as a 2nd mom because she was so open to listening to you and always feeding everyone, i have heard so many stories of my mom just helping so many people in so many ways. I would also like to say that she loved taking so many pictures and if one picture explains my life with my mom Katarina it would be this

To my beautiful Katarina, words cannot express The emptiness I feel in my heart without you, you were a loving wife, my best friend, and I will miss your sense of humor, and your honest way of approaching life. You were a dear friend to many others and strived to be a friend to all. The world will be a much duller place without your bright beautiful smile and giving heart...
You will be greatly missed!
Love you always and forever.
Your husband,
Charlie
