Roger and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Bernice’s passing. Roger and Bernice were one of the first members I met when I started with the Friends of Gettysburg (11 years ago!) And because of that (and don’t tell Roger), I have special memories of them. Roger I hope you will continue to come to Gettysburg. It was a special place to Bernice. Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you.

So sorry for your loss to Roger and the “girls”. I thought I’d have time to run around with Bernie when I retire…she’s gone, way too soon. We all will miss her and I will miss my complaint sessions with her. Paul and I will miss her but will kindly think of her often.
Dear Roger and Family,
My heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Bernie. She will be sincerely missed and warmly remembered by all that knew her. I will cherish all the shared times we had together like shore house visits, parties at the house and trips to Bloomsburg. She was such a loving, caring and fun person to be with and was taken from us all to soon. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
In loving sympathy,
Ann Coyle
