I also worked with "Bernie" at the telephone company straight out of high school. Additionally, she was a good friend of my family and our neighbor for many, many years. I cannot even express how kind and generous this lady was, but everyone who knew her already knows this anyway. I will miss her dearly....rest in peace Bernie - you were an angel on earth that loved and cared about everyone!

Beautiful lady. When working at the hospital together, Linda and I would visit with Bernie at her home during our hectic lunch breaks. She always welcomed me into her home and was hospitable and gracious. That was over 25 years ago, and I still think of those lunches with Bernie. All my love to Linda, Jerry, to the entire family, and all the many friends of Bernie Alexander. Rest in peace.
