My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to my dear aunt Myrna and my cousins Karen & Greg as well as their families, we love you all and will miss terribly our beloved uncle Bernard.
Bernard was one of the kindest,best men ever. I have known him all my life and I never heard him say a harsh word to or about anyone. And years ago on vacations our families took together, he could have said a few unkind things to me and I deserved them for sure. Myrna, Karen, and Greg,I love you all and may memories help you through this difficult time and warm your hearts for years to come. Pat
