Dear Family of Berni,
God bless you. You are in my prayers. I found out today, from a very dear person at St. Michael's that my dear friend Berni had passed away. Berni and I kept talking about going out for breakfast after church and I am deeply saddened that our plans never came to be. Now I cannot go to breakfast with my dear sweet friend to have a good laugh and be in good company. I know dear angel Berni, that you missed your Frank so much and he for certain missed you also. How happy you two must be together with God. How good it must be to be dancing with the stars. I will always remember you and I thank God for blessing me by letting me know you. You were many rays of sunshine. I have you in my heart. Michael and other family members, I will keep you all in my prayers. I know how difficult it is to part with someone so lovely. Remember that she will always be with you in spirit and she will send you little signs of love from heaven.

Dear Michael
So very shocked to get this news. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
I loved your Mom and Dad they were so much fun to work with while we were looking for the Florida House. Take care

No words can make your loss any better but I do know she is dancing up there with the love of her life and best friend. They raised a great son. I was lucky to know her. Hang in there Mike.
Love,
Chris

My deepest condolences to Mike and family. Although not an actual relative, we've always considered Bernie, Frank & Mike part of our family. Over time, the pain we feel now may be replaced with the fond memories we all have of her and knowing that she & Frank are dancing together again. We will miss our Bernie girl.

I've bowled with Berni for several years.It was a shock when we heard of her passing. Many of us have wonderful memories of her.
Her kindness and compassion in times of others troubles were comforting. She was upbeat and a happy soul, always ready with a smile. She never missed a day of bowling this season.She will truly be missed...
