I want to send my heartfelt sympathy to all the Gagnon family and friends. I first met Berni when Renee' married Paul and Berni treated me like another one of her children. She was an extrodinary, elegant, loving lady and will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her. She is whole once again only forever now. May God hold you in His loving arms and comfort you as you go through the days and years to come. With much love,
Shannon

Our sincere sympathy is with Uncle Larry and all the children and grandchildren. Aunt Bernice will be missed very much here on earth. She is in a peaceful place now where there is no sadness, suffering or struggle to live each day. I hope the days to come allow the family to remember all the good times you shared during your lives.
