Dear Elsie and Family: Bernie was a wonderful, handsome and caring man. I will always remember all the parties at Grandma Drab's house and how much Veronica always talked so much about Bernie and Elsie, she loved you both so much. I will remember Bernie's beautiful smile and his wonderful personality and how he was just so nice to everyone he met. Our deepest sympathy to you Elsie and your family. Love, Laurie Apodaca (Zwick) and Family

Elsie and Family,

So sorry to hear of Bernie's death. We are in Florida at this time so we will not be able to visit with you but please accept our sincere condolences. Bernie was a wonderful person who loved his family and everyone he came in contact with was blessed by his sunny disposition. Best wishes to all of you.



Love,
