Saying GOOD-BYE is very hard.... I live far away from my sister-in-law, but I chatted with her on a regular basis... before facebook it was though e-mail...As I watched the video that her girls made at the wake alot of memories came to me... the day Jeff & Bernie were married... the yellow dress she had on... their wedding cake... the food her family had made... the kids playing in the yard that evening... running and having fun... the times Joe & I stopped over at the house when they lived on Olson Rd & up north... just sitting around talking... She had her own style, she did'nt care what other people thought... but that was bernie... you just took her like she was... She was always good to my son & daughters... Troy said Bernie always told him... I got your back....Teresa was telling me about a day when she was little... she spent the day with her, she painted her fingernails & toenails purple, I never knew that... but Teresa remembers.. she has fun her... when my Dad was in the hospital those last 4 days of his life Teresa spent hours in the waiting room with Bernie... just talking and laughing... She laughed harder than anyone I have ever met... usually a little snort along with it..LOL..She loved her daughters so much and my heart broke for them today as I watched them say good-bye. She loved her Grandsons without a doubt..she probably was not the tradition Grandma,but I'll bet they had fun with her and will remember the fun things they did with her. She loved my brother for over 28 years...she made him HAPPY... that is what is important... He love her... He loved her.. I'll miss our chats in the morning BERNIE... I'll miss you!!!!!

My heart aches for our brother, his girls and grandsons. I am glad that you had the daily chat with her and that you were able to stay connected. Also glad that Jeff will be spending time with Mike in the woods this week - it will be a time of healing for him.
Thanks for the great tribute to Bernie. I love you
