I have so many fond memories of Gramps.  He always treated me with the utomost respect.  He was a great father-in-law, a fun loving grandfather to my 3 boys.  So much fun to dance with in his day and so much more.  I will be not be there physically, but will certainly be there in spirit.  My prayers go out to all of you. 

Love, Aggie Bernhardt

Charlie, Terry, Steve, Arnie, and family.  Elmer was the one person I disliked when I was playing basketball. Then I was fortunate enough to room with Terry at Mayville and got to know your family. Elmer was a great man that raised a great family. You will miss him. For me, I'll never forget that booming voice at those games. God Bless.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I want to send you my sympathy's. I know how hard it can be to find comfort at a time like this. That's why I wanted to share something that I found to be comforting. It's the hope held out to us by Jehovah God in his word the bible at John 5:28,29. I hope it brings you the same comfort it brings me. Please take care.
