My dear friend, Bernie, I remember the exact day at the post office when I knew we were destined for friendship. I learned over time what a loyal, giving, and humorous person you were. Thank you for all the years of friendship, the great memories, and last but not least, all of the laughter and joy you brought to my life. Bernie, you have a place in my heart forever!

I don't even know how to express the sadness I feel at Berne's passing. What a great loss. Every time Bernie and I conversed we always ended up laughing and joking. I don't think any conversation we had would end serious. We thought so much alike. It is soo hard losing someone so close, my heart aches for all of you. Be comforted in the fact Bernie is at peace.

I am crushed by Bernie's passing. She was someone I always looked forward to seeing in class so many years ago, as well as chatting with her as of late. Her smile always made me feel so happy. Bernie was someone I thought of often and I cherished the bond we had. God bless those that are mourning her passing and may God keep her as one of His many angels.

Peace and strength to the family and loved ones of my "auntie" Bernie. She was a true friend and ally in life, the essence of "family". I love you, auntie Bernie.
