Bernie’s Story

Site created on August 2, 2020

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. Thank you for visiting. Bernie was diagnosed with lung cancer last month. Scans revealed he has a mass in his right lung. The biopsy’s results indicated he has cancer. Please read the other journal entries, as they contain updates on this. His cancer has spread...

The best way to reach Bernie is to send him a card or a letter in the mail. He doesn’t go on email often, and telephone calls are very difficult…. His address is 427 Fenton Place, Charlotte, NC 28207.

We are so thankful for the miracle our families have been given, of Beth, the caregiver. She used to have a caregiving business of her own, but retired to take care of her ailing parents. Her father died of lung cancer and her mother died of pancreatic cancer. She moved into Dad and Jill‘s condo complex about three months ago…. Also, Jill’s daughter, Kirsten, lost her job at the end of May this year when her company shut down. She has always worked. But now that she doesn’t currently have a job, she is able to come to Charlotte from Texas and help both families out…. ❤️❤️❤️
