Clyde, Tim and Brian,

Our familiest thought are with you all. I will never forget all the time I spent with your family growing up. Bowling in the basement with those empty jugs from "hug" juices. I think we did that at every party. I will also always remember playing with Brian in the basement while my mom was getting her hair done. Seems "Buster" would always be down there with us to rat us out for going into Tim's room while he was away in the service, we would run and pretend we were jumping on that small excersise trampoline. I also will never forget your family taking me in while my mom was in the hospital having open-heart surgery. Your mom was like another mom to me growing up. Through the years she always told me I was making her old. Maybe that had to do with the fact I use to have her cut MY KIDS hair too. My youngest would only sit still for her. The last time I was at the house she has just showed me a blanket she had made. She kept telling me time and time again to come over and she would teach me how she did it, but I regret never making the time to get there. Maybe it was for the best. I can sit back and think of all the fun times I had with your family instead. Bernice was a wonderful women and I know my mom will also miss her deeply. Hugs to all of you. Hope to keep in touch.

Dear Clyde & Family,
Bernice was a person that will always hold a special place in my heart. She was a kind, thoughtful, caring and generous person--always thinking about others before herself. When she would visit Clyde at the nursing home, her visits always made Clyde's day better, as well as mine! I WILL NEVER FORGET HER! With love and deepest sympathy, I share in your tremendous loss.

Clyde, Tim, Bryan and Family,

What a special lady Bernice was. She was an absolute doll and I am going to miss her a lot. She was a blessing to be around. Our loss is Heaven's gain. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of the saints," (Psalm 116:15).

You are being prayed for...
