Dear Peggy, Cheryl and Family, and Keith and Family,

You are in our thoughts and prayers. We extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of Bernard. Peggy, I remember being a child and watching you and Bernard get married. You were always so close, and a wonderful team. Everyone knew how much he loved and adored his family. When I was a child Bernard was my big cousin. I always looked forward to seeing him, and sharing Italian dinners. We will miss him. Take Care...Love Pam and Rich Hiestand

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Bernie. Are thoughts and prayers are with you. I'll always remember Bernie by him attending his grandsons games whether it was baseball, football or basketball, for Midlothian, School District 143 or Bremen H.S., no matter how far and in any kind of weather. Bernie was always willing to share his opinion of the games which is something I always looked forward to. Bernie will be analyzing the games from heaven now. He will be missed. God bless you Bernie.
