I studied singing with Bernice, and she was a wonderful coach. Always encouraging, patient and supportive. I remember her with great fondness. Thank you to Suzi Cook for introducing us.

She was very dear sweet Aunt always asking me about my rabbits and wanting to know what I was doing lately or when I was taking my next trip. And always thanked me for all the greeting cards that I sent to her. I miss her very much.
