Carnal. Thank you for the friend you were. Very few people have a heart as big as yours. You will be missed by all of us. Rest In Peace Bernie.

I commend you, my dear Bernie to almighty God, and entrust you to your Creator. May you rest in the arms of the Lord who formed you from the dust of the earth.
May holy Mary, the angels and all the saints welcome you now that you have gone forth from this life. May Christ who was crucified for you, bring you freedom and peace. May Christ who died for you admit you into his garden of paradise. May Christ, the true Shepherd, embrace you as one of his flock.
May he forgive all your sins, and set you among those he has chosen. May you see your Redeemer face to face, and enjoy the vision of God, forever.
