    May God’s peace that passes all understanding fill your hearts and soul. It has been years since I saw Bernie but like all the Colliers, he was a good guy. I remember when his family first moved to L’Ardoise and they lived in my grandmother’s house. It was great knowing him. God bless…Pastor Janet Harker Landry.

    I wish to express my condolences for the loss of ‘Bernie’. Even though I did not know him, it can pain the heart.We are never ready to pass away, at any age, which shows that our Creator, Jehovah, did not purpose life to end. So a comforting Bible promise says “the hour is coming is which all those in the memorial tombs (in God’s memory) will hear his voice and come out . . . to a resurrection of life” (John 5:28,29). And then God “will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more . . . nor pain be anymore” in the paradise to come on earth. (Revelation 21:4).
    Please accept these thoughts toward the family.
