Gone from our sight,but never from our hearts. He who has gone,so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, may, more present than the living. Bernard was a hard working good man with the heart of Gold. I’m grateful for having him in my life at such a young age. May his spirit live on in all that he has touched. May his family be comforted knowing he is with our heavily father and all the Angels. R.I.P “Sugar Bear”.
