HERE IS A PICTURE OF MY FRIEND BERNIE...HE WAS PRIVILEGED TO GO SPEND THE REST OF HIS DAYS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD...HE WAS A WONDERFUL QUIET MAN...HE WAS A FANTASTIC CARD PLAYER TOO...I WAS FORTUNATE TO PLAY WITH HIM MANY TIMES...I ADMIRE HIM GREATLY...HE RARELY COMPLAINED...HE GAVE ME HOPE IN DEALING WITH MY OWN TRIALS...WE COLLECTED COINS TOGETHER FOR HIS GRAN DAUGHTERS...I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO SEE HIS NEW BLUE "CADILLAC"...HE EVEN HAD A SEAT BELT...WE LAUGHED AND HAD A BIG TIME...I WILL THINK OF HIM OFTEN AND FONDLY IN THE YEARS TO COME...NO ONE EVER LEAVES WHEN YOU KEEP THEM IN YOUR HEART...DAVE...
