Eleven years ago, our beloved Bernie left us, and no one can fill the void he left in our heart. We loved him so much and still miss hearing his voice and speak of him often. Rest in the Lord dear Bernie.

To my beautiful family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. My heart is truly saddened. I will remember the good times, good food, and laughter all of us shared with Bernie. We are truly a Blessed family and I love you all. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a guardian angel to watch over you.
1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Heartfelt,

Linda, I am sorry about your loss but just know that he is in a better place. No more pain and suffering. Praying for your strength as you go through this difficult time of bereavement.


My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose
I find myself wishing that it wasn't real
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see
But my heart tells me that he'll always be with me
I'm glad he feels no pain now-he lives in a perfect land
I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of his loving hand
I lie in bed and cry at night
And I don't feel any better in the morning light
And I will love and miss him forever
Until the day we are again together.
Together in that perfect place above,
Filled with caring, sharing and love
But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away.
And hopefully see him again someday

Linda, Chenequa and family: Just know that God will see you thru your time of grief and sorrow and as David stated, " I will lift mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help my help cometh from the LORD".

Dear Linda and Family,
My Sincere and Heartfelt Sympathy is extended to you at this very difficult time.
Bernie would watch my house for me in Queensborough whenever I went out of town. He was such a kind loving neighbor and friend.
I will truly miss him. Every time I opened my garage door or step out on my front porch, I would see Bernie passing by in his black pickup truck. I could hear the truck before I saw him. I knew that Bernie was on the way. He took the time to stop and talk. Bernie had a strong faith in GOD.
Family, my prayers are with you. GOD will see you through.

To our Adopted Family,
It hurt our hearts to hear about one of our love one who has gone on home to be with the lord. Our prayers are with the family.Let us remember the good times we had share with him while he was still here with us. Especially we're going to miss his good ole lip smacking barbecue chicken and ribs. R.I.P Clyde we love you but God love you best.

To Linda, Calvin, Gary, Seabrook, Smalls and Frazier families. I offer my condolences in the death of my nephew Bernard Frazier. Bernard was a God fearing,loving and kind man who enjoyed sharing the love of Jesus with you. He used every opportunity to witness about how good and faithful God has been to him. He was certainly strong in the Lord. This family will surely miss Bernard at gathering preparing his delicious barbecue ribs and chicken. We will miss his telephone calls,(how you doing?) his gift of story telling and his presence at family functions. His initiative to plan banquets with such care. I will never forget the "Just Because Banquet" that he and the rest of our nieces and nephew gave for all of the aunts and uncles in September 2011. The food, the decorations, the limousine ride as well as the red carpet was all well done and was such a surprise. His favorite quote will stay with me always. "God has the last say." Praise God from whom all blessings flow and may God love and peace remain with us and keep us strong.
