My sister Bernadine was the one person in my life who I could always count on to be there for me. Her example of kindness, caring and generosity is something I try to follow in the way I live my life everyday. While her passing is sad, it is a relief to know she no longer has to endure the pain and suffering that became part of her daily life, especially the past few years. I always loved and appreciated her, probably more than she realized, and she will be greatly missed. Now she’s reunited with our mom and dad and I know they all will be looking out for me til I join them someday. – Wallace J Huber
