What a beautiful friend I had in Bernie. I will miss and treasure our drives together, our caramel sundaes from McDonalds, sitting on the porch swinging and enjoying the sun and feeding the squirrels and birds. She was always there to listen and share her wisdom and experience with me. We exchanged so many stories of our lives with eachother. She was supportive and encouraging when I decided to go through nursing school. I admire her strength and endurance through all of the hardships she faced in her lifetime. She was such a strong and beautiful lady and I will think of her every time I go to the fair, have a hot chocolate with a chocolate mint mixed in, hear a Patsy Cline song or see an African Violet flower. Love you Bernie. Thanks so much for the memories.

Tom and Karl you have my condolences with the passage of Bernie. I came to know her thru the Willows and visited with her when seeing my mom. Bernie was one of the sweetest ladies I knew there. She will be missed.

I will always see Aunt Bernie as a strong woman with sparkling eyes and a welcoming smile. We usually visited in the company of her sisters: My mom, Carol, and aunts Arlene, Betty, and Evelyn. What a group--always laughing and enjoying their time together! I remember Aunt Bernie with fondness and send prayers and loving thoughts for those she leaves behind.
