Karen and I have known Bernard for many years. We enjoyed having morning coffees with the entire family. Between Jim Tripp, Bernie Bringe, and Rick Setzer, you can bet we solved some world problems. Then the girls would step in and make us right.
Erna, our sorrow for you is real. That pit in the stomach is, I’m sure, more prevalent than ever. We will pray for you and fill our hearts with good memory’s. Bless you.
Sincerely,
Rick and Karen Setzer
