Drew and family, so sorry for your loss. Prayers for healing and blessings.
Aunt Bernie will be greatly missed. As a child, I loved to spend time at Uncle Eddie and Aunt Bernie’s house. I have many fond memories of her. She and Uncle Eddie were a huge part of our life after my father (Edward), Uncle Eddie’s twin brother, passed away. And when Mom (Mary Jo) began to decline in health, her and Uncle Eddie were there for us, all along the way. She is in a much better place, and we look forward to seeing her again one day. Our love goes out to Uncle Eddie and my cousins, Kelly and Drew.
To Beradine family so sorry to hear of the loss of your wife and mother.May your memories comfort you in your time of sorrow,and may the love you shared bring you strength in the days ahead.
I am so sorry to hear about Bernie’s passing. She and Eddie, and before them her mother, Edna, were the greatest neighbors down here on 3rd Ave SE. There were many enjoyable conversations held in our yards. I really enjoyed working with Bernie at the Shepherd’s Inn before she and I both retired. She was a hard worker and enjoyed the residents, taking the time to visit with them and would go the extra mile to find an article of clothing that mistakenly got placed in the wrong resident’s closet. She will be missed by many. My sympathies to Eddie, Kellie,Drew, Eugene and families. Hoping you find comfort in our Savior’s arms at this time. Deb and Jim Willner
So many fond memories have come to mind, all the over-night visits Bern and I shared as teenagers, learning (trying, anyway) how to drive a stick shift out in the hay field, all the other fun times spent together. Thinking of you, Eddie, Drew and Kelli during this difficult time. May all the wonderful memories comfort you, as they have me.
So sorry to hear of Bernie’s passing. We grew to love her and Ed while we lived in Wells. They were great friends and fellow Christians and we are sure she is with her Lord and Savior free from her earthly health problems. We extend our love and heartfelt prayers to Ed and the family.
