Barnie, My condolence in the loss of your Mother. She lived a long life and had a great family. May we all be so lucky. Al

Dear Donna and Family, I was so sorry to read about Mrs Bernardi. I had missed you the past few days at WC, but never thought this was the reason. Your mother seemed to be doing so well. What a lovely lady! I am so happy I had the opportunity to meet her even though I wish it had been under other circumstances. No one ever would have guessed she was 95! I was so impressed that she remembered my name and recalled all of my aunts and uncles from Sprague. You and your brothers were all there for her, and she was obviously much loved. I send you ALL my sincerest condolences, and I know you have many wonderful memories that will help in time. What a long and lovely life your Mom lived. I hope she didn't suffer much in the very end. May she rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. I have so many memories of Ruth throughout my childhood and into adulthood. She was a good friend to my Mom and I know she will miss her, Ruth was always straightforward and level headed, but more importantly kind. I will always remember her fondly. What a wonderful life she had surrounded by so many that loved her. In time may happy memories replace your sadness. I know Brit, Chubby, Walt, Phyllis and Billy will all be waiting with open arms to greet her.

Auntie Ruth was such a special person to both of us. I will never forget her great beans and sausage that she sent to us when Fran, or Franny as she would say, was in the army and we were living near Ronnie in Virginia. It was a real taste of home and such a thoughtful thing to do. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
