Shirley, you are going to be missed so much. I can't believe that we talked just three days ago. You called me to find out if the hurricane Hermine hit us here. And it did. You sounded great.
And then a call from Cousin Pam about you passing on. What a shock. God Bless. My deepest sympathy to your family.
Bob Bernard (cousin)
So sorry for the loss of your loved one. She was a very sweet lady. My thought's and prayer's go out to the family .
I will miss my cousin, good friend and confidant.
Our long talks on the phone about family history
and current politics were great and will be missed.
She was honest and kind; one of the nicest people
I've ever known.
All this and a 'North Side Bernard' besides!
Love to you, Shirley and all your family I've never met.
-Pam
I'll miss you ant.
