Bernie will be greatly missed by all of us. She was such a nice person to be around. Always came up and talked to me when I would see her. Even though I didn’t get to see her all of the times that I went to visit Marcy and her Daughter Dawn. I have know Bernie since I was 16years old. She was such a wonderful person.
Rest in peace my friend!!
