When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. We extend our condolences in the death of Bernard. Death and grief of a loved one take so much away from us. But there is so much left to include the precious memories. Know that grief is a process and only you can determine what and how you should feel or think. Give yourself permission to grieve in your own way. Keep your faith in God and remember His promises!
