I was sooooooooo sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Bernice Hopkins. My heartfelt and sincere condolences go out to all of her family; Donald who I met and of course Vivian. She was a beautiful person and bought happiness to my former Supervisor, Mr. Morton B. Hopkins, one of the greatest Bosses one could have. To this day, I often think of Mr. Hopkins. May God continue to Bless all of you.
