Condolences on the passing of cousin Bernie. You cared for him so lovingly which most assuredly meant so much to him. He felt your love.I last saw him years ago at the Texas Hot and he knew me right away. My sister Laverna had given me a treat of a Texas hot dog that I miss so much. Rochester doesn’t have one like that. Treasure all your memories, he is now with his mom. Love you all. cousin Norma
Carol and family, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss of Bernie! He was such a Good Guy!! I always enjoyed him being in the same room when my Dad (Harry Jones) was his roommate. We lost our Dad this April, and I know what an empty feeling you get! They are in a better place now, may Bernie and Dad rest in Peace!
Carol and Herb and family, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We are so very sorry for your loss. Bernie was a wonderful man. I can remember as a kid when he lived next door to us on Maple Street for a time. Always so kind and keeping that sidewalk clean for everyone. God has another angel up in heaven now…..Love,
Lynne, Bill and Michael Cardamone
