I met Antonia again after many years when we came to America in 2006. we had a great time in Springfield and I also met the entire family, which was lovely. Antonia was so welcoming and invited everyone to her house. In the last 10 years she phoned several times and asked if I could come over again but unfortunately I wasn't able to. I remember Antonia giving me a lift when I started boarding school in Meppen. This is also the place where she met her husband Theo. If anyone of the Bernardy family is coming to Germany, you are always welcome to stay at my place. I am thinking of you all at this sad time. Lots of love to you all, Jo (Antonia's cousin from Nordhorn, Germany)
