Bernice was a favorite at The Highlands Living Center. Her humor and wit kept us laughing. It was an honor to care for her. She will be missed but we will continue to see her in the beauty of each day. Our prayers are with the family that we will also miss seeing. Pat Interlicchia and all of Bernice's friends at THLC.
