Pat, Alanna, Alisha and family, I was saddened to learn of Aunt Bernie's passing, but comforted by learning that she was able to do so in her home which she loved and with you her family there with her. She lived a long and very full life and at 104 I am sure that she was ready to pass into new life--to be with Uncle Leo and other famlily members again--now in heaven. I will miss her annual leters and Christmas cards and feel honored having had her as an aunt in my life for 64 years, as well as her being my Confirmation sponsor whern I was a teenager. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you find closure in her passing--taking it one day at a time. Love, Cousin Helene
