It is with profound sadness but with grace that we announce that our beloved brother, brother-in-law, uncle and great-uncle passed away at Hospice Wellington on May 14, 2011. He returns to the Universe from which he came. He joins his father, mother, sister Lis, Cam, Joe and Tony who are waiting to embrace him joyfully on the other side. He will sadly missed by his good friends Norm and Jackie, Larry and Sandy, Peter and Mindy, Christine and countless others who shared his journey here on earth. Thank you. As Bernd faced the end of his life, he did so with courage and was a teacher until the end in how to accept that life is about birth, death and the in-between.“To love truly takes a hero who can manage his own fear”Bernd you are our hero, we love you Monika and Judy, Heide and Paul, Shawn and Chelsea. At Bernd’s request, there will be a private service at the graveside. Should you wish to make a donation, we would ask that you make in memory of Bernd (Barry) to Hospice Wellington.
