Our deepest sympathy for the family of this beautiful life lost on earth. Truly Heaven has gained an Angel. Sr. Bernice was a great inspiration. She paved the way for a strong faith in our lives and helped me extend that through teaching CCD. She was truly missed upon her retirement and was in our thoughts and prayers afterwards.
