We will miss you Uncle Bernie. So enjoyed lunch with you, Aunt Phronie, Aunt Sarah, and Mom last August.
Mom & I so enjoyed our last visit with you, Aunt Phronie, Dan & Sarah. We will miss you and all that you did for Mom and your Family.
Dear Phonie,
Sorry to hear of cousin Bernie’s passing. We heard through David Daigle. We would like to know when the remembrance service in Maine will be held.
Phronie, sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed hearing the latest news of you and Bernie through Dan. He thinks very highly of you both and loved his dad a great deal. I will look for announcements for the service in Maine.
Dear Danny and family, please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Good times remembered help.

So sorry to have our uncle leave us but the memories will keep forever. We had a wonderful 90th birthday with him in October with plenty of Vodka.
