TO THE FAMILY/FRIENDS OF BERNIE:
SHE WAS A CARING AND PRIVATE PERSON; WE WORKED TOGETHER VERY LITTLE, I DID KNOW SHE CARED ABOUT HER JOB AND LIFE. SPECIAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEANT ALOT TO HER. MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU ALL.
Dear Family,
I worked with Bernie, she was always willing to help! My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you. God bless you all.
I worked with Bernie by phone sometimes, and she was always there to answer questions and give advise on specific things that would pop up for us on the Occ Health problems with billing. She always had the answers. She will be missed on a personal and a professional level here at CPMG!!
God Bless her walk with Jesus now..I am sorry for your loss…God bless your family…
