Photo of JOSEPH PATRICK EVERETT BERNARD – Picture of My Brother Everett Joseph Patrick Bernard. I thought it would be nice to have a picture of my brother added to the ones you have of his grave in Cyprus. He was the first born of seven children. We think of him often and miss him. His parents have passed now but his siblings are still all alive. Thank you.
