Guestbook

Grandpa was such a great pillar and patriarch of our family. I have so many fond memories as he raised me from birth and has been there through the years. Not only was he my grandfather, he also was my godfather, and such a great friend too. He always had nuggets of wisdom to share and was playful. I know I could rely on him for solid advice and problem solving. My best memories are spending time together at his cabin and in his fireplace room. He loved telling about his adventures in the Air Force and his love of flying. I am going to miss many things about being together. No more "dead man walking chickien" with beans! I miss him dearly yet I am grateful that he now dwells with our Lord and is in peace. I love you Grandpa!

Lord, have mercy.

O Master, Lord our God Almighty, who willest that all men should be saved and should come to a knowledge of the truth; who desirest not the death of a sinner, but that he should turn again and be saved: We pray thee and beseech thee, deliver thou the soul of thy servant, Bernard, from every bond, free it from every curse. For thou art he who delivereth them that are bound, and guideth aright them that are cast down, O Hope of the hopeless. Wherefore, O Master, command that the soul of thy servant, Bernard, may depart in peace, and may rest in thine everlasting mansions with all thy Saints; through thine Only-begotten Son, with whom thou art blessed, together with thine all-holy, and good, and life-giving Spirit, now, and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
