Landon & Family, Sorry to learn of
Bernice's passing. I remember her from John L. Berkley School. Your
Mom was kin to my Dad, Charlie B. Millner and his sisters. Bernice was so sweet to me back then. My aunts
used to talk about going to Cousin Kate Hundley's farm when they were
growing up. God bless you all.
Love, Mary Ellen Millner Yeatts

Bun was a beautiful lady. She was always so much fun to be with. She used to pick me up at my home with her "tiny" car, and we had such memories from years ago. Her energy during her last years was admired by all. John joins me in sending sympathy to her family. We loved her, and will dearly miss her.

The last time I saw Bun was probable at the funeral of my Aunt Louise. I don’t know why, but that’s the way the Wyatt family works, not Bun’s side but Jack’s. Wyatt married Wyatt! We only get together at funerals. I am so sorry, I can’t come to this one. Mom called me tonight and told me about her death. She had just found out. We talked about what a pleasant down to earth person she was and how she loved golf.

This happened a few years ago, my husband and I would get the Richmond Times Sunday paper He said “isn’t this your Aunt.” It was a short write up about her getting a hole in one playing golf and how she had to treat her friends. I thought then, now that’s a women who enjoyed life!

Sally, John and Russell , I am so sorry a about your loss. I wish I could be there tomorrow. You have my sympathy. Your cousin, Angie Wyatt Phillips

The last time I saw her, both she and Jack looked great and very happy. It was at a Tuckahoe Elementary school graduation musical. Her grandson and my son were both there and they seemed very proud of their family. She seemed a lovely very spirited woman.

I have known and loved Bernice since our junior-high days at GWHS. She was always good humored and full of fun. During the painful days of her terminal illness and other trauma, she never lost that sparkle. My wife Pat joins me in sending condolences to all of the family.
