Bernadette and the passing of her dad


Bock,
 
Thanks for the link.  I need to inform you that Bernadette's father passed away recently.  We had to go to Pittsburgh the week before Christmas to bury him.  If we didn't take over the funeral arrangements, they would of had to follow her mothers directions of "a one hour viewing, close the casket and plant him in the ground."  We gave him a proper funeral complete with military honors befitting a Purple Heart winner.  Bernadette was presented with the flag by the honor guard.  The mass was extremely well done and all who came to the repast shared their memories of Bernadette's father and how he had helped them to stay in business at one time or another during his time as their flour supplier.  It was good for Bernadette to hear some positive remarks for a change.  She is going through a tough period right now so please add her to the prayer group for the special "strength and comfort" only the lord can provide at this time.
 
Be well my friend.
 
Ken
