To Bernie's family, I am so sorry for your loss. Through my friend Kim, over many years, I have been hearing about Kim's Mother, Bernie. What a saint! What a wonderful Mother! Always strong and brave, compassionate and loving, gentle and kind, with Godly thoughts and a heartwarming smile and gratitude for all. Bless Bernie always and forever for she is surely in heaven with God.
