Dear Aunt Joyce and my special cousins, we are so sad to hear about Uncle Bernie. I have such great memories of him. He was always so kind, thoughtful, and always had such a great sense of humor. We'll miss him. Prayers for your comfort today and peace in knowing he's having the time of his life! Much love, Jerry and Lisa
