Bernie was a real sweetheart. She moved into my dad’s apartment after he passed away so that made her an extra special person to me. I will never forget her and the kindness she showed everyone here at Pioneer Ridge. She will be greatly missed.

Dear Kay, Sue and family, My most heartfelt sympathy to you all with the loss of your dear mom. I had the pleasure of working with her for so many years. She always amazed me with her energy and spunk. We had many good conversations throughout the years and I know family was most important to her. She was so very proud of all of you. Even though her life wasn't always easy she never complained. Your mom was a strong woman! May she rest in peace❤️
