Please accept my heartfelt sympathies in the loss of your dear loved one. How comforting in knowing Almighty God has not only the power but also the desire to resurrect our loved ones. Jesus himself said: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." John 5:28,29

Sorry I didnt get to know you as my half brother, but it has taken me 27 years to find out something about my father Bernard Kern.I accidently stumbled across this and was surprised to finally hit the jackpot, but a little late.I am still searching for my other siblings that are out there, there are 2 more to my knowledge.But anyone with info would be appreciated.
