Dear George and sons Mike, Mark, Steven, Douglas and Christopher and their families. I am so sorry for your loss. Berni was a wonderful wife and mother. We had many great times together in our younger days. I know you will all miss her greatly, but know that she is at peace now and no longer suffering. The obituary was wonderfully written and brought back a great memory of when we went roller skating and Berni met George. A match made in heaven and will someday continue. My love to all of you in this time of sorrow.

Deb Coye says
When we met many years ago, we really enjoyed spending time together. I wish I would have known Berni better, but distance is like that. Whenever Mike was on the phone, I always got to talk to her, and laugh about different things, and it always felt like she was not very far. I’m so sorry for the families loss, and she will always have a place in my heart. I said to Mike, I don’t know how she handled those 5 boys when they were growing up, she surely had her hands full. Love to all.
