With Bernices anniversary of her passing approaching I am picturing her and my hubby Warren exchanging humorous anecdotes in heaven just as they did in life. We had such wonderful times together. She will always be in our hearts. The memories help keep her presence close. Loved her smile!!

She was one of my favorites!!! I so appreciated how she sent me a birthday (and halloween!) card every year for as long as she could, and when she could no longer, she shared with me how sad she was that she couldn't. I loved her so much and will truly miss her and her friendship, yes, friendship. It's a blessing to have an aunt and a friend... I feel fortunate to have known her. May your hearts be filled with her memory, and her love. In spirit, Laurie

Cheryl, Linda & Nancy,
I am so sad that your Mom and my favorite Aunt is no longer with us. I have so many wonderful memories of our families at Rocky Neck, Columbia Lake and many many more. I'll always remember her laugh...what a laugh, a thigh slapper, and how she shuffled her feet when she walked! She will be missed terribly. Sending my love to all of you. Lynn & family.
