My condolences to our friends and family family. I first met Bernadine when I was 8 years old she was my dad's longest relationship and she treated me as her own son. She has two daughters Debra and Heidi who I see as sister's and she now lives through them watching over all of us .She was our guardian mother here on earth for us and guided my father through the good and bad times thankfully she had patience and truelove for him .But now she is with our Lord in heaven .I will try to reach heaven and see her again with her angelic guidance and God willing . I will do so through Christ example and kind meek people like My Mom Bernie she will be missed by many .I pray you all find peace knowing she's with Others that have past before her and will be waiting patiently for us when we're called .

 know each other ] and we would often [ include common activities together ].

Thank you for everything grandma❤️ always being there for me no matter what right or wrong. Raising me when I was a teenager helping me through so much trauma.  Always filling voids with your unconditional love. If I didn’t think anyone in the world loved me I knew you did. I’m going to miss you tremendously. 

One summer my cousin Sabrina & I stayed at our grandma Bernie’s house- it was one of my favorite summer memories with her because she let us be the teenagers we wanted to be! Mayville is a small town, so when it got dark out she would let us walk down to the gas station to get flaming hot Cheetos & ranch. When we would return she would stay up pretty late with us watching lifetime movies. Once she went to bed my cousin & I would stay up all night watching adult swim. When morning came, she would let us sleep in til noon & had no complaints whatsoever. Thank you for letting us be teenagers grandma. I love you forever & ever.
