Not having Aunt Bernadine in my life has left a hole in my heart. She always a smile and warm hug for me. She was the historian for the Phillipsen family and a great story teller.
I remember how excited we were whenever Bud and Bernie were home for a visit from their many postings around the world. I loved to hear her stories, and her sharp wit and kind nature were an inspiration
So sorry for your loss, Sharon. I have fond memories of your mother especially when I visited you in California and we did the Monterey drive to Pebble Beach. She was very gracious and funny with stories of you. Warmest thoughts, gail
