THANK YOU Thank You We, the Berneman family, are truly surrounded by angels. It has been proven many times along this journey our family has been taken on. Through many heart wrenching doctor visits, surgeries, treatments, and daily trials this local community of family and friends has stood beside us and lifted us up in prayer.

Our family is so grateful to so many that it’s hard to know how to write a thank you that is powerful enough to tell you what our hearts are feeling. We have experienced so many random acts of kindness over the past few months that reassure us that the world is still full of people that truly care about others. To those acts we say Thank You! To our family that has been so faithful and generous in every way we say Thank You! To our friends and coworkers that have gone above and beyond the normal “call of duty” we say Thank You! To the small army that worked together to put

together the Berneman Family Benefit last Saturday evening we say Thank You! What an incredibly beautiful event. We feel humbled by the outpouring of donations. Whether you helped by donating merchandise, your services, your time, or coming to the event and donating at the meal or auction be assured we are so grateful to you all.

God has been busy working in our lives and continues to heal our sons Chase and Chanse. Both are doing well. Brad continues with his treatments and also is doing well. We will continue to trust that God will provide healing for Brad and continued good health in the future. Prayer support is the reason we are on the road to recovery. We ask you to diligently pray for our family. Miracles are there for those that believe and we certainly are holding out for them. We Will Persevere!!

With Unending Gratitude, Brad, Julie, Chase and Chanse Berneman
