Charlie, Pegeen and Aisling,

We were so heartbroken to hear that Bernice had died. She was such a warm, gracious and dynamic woman, who touched hundreds of lives. Ronnie and I learned so much about marriage and parenting from Bill and Bernice -- and how to be a wonderful friend. When we began working with newlyweds at North Point, we felt like we had grown up to be them! Nothing could have been a higher aspiration. She will be greatly missed by so many.

Charlie: We read in this morning's AJC about your Mom passing away. We have no doubt that she is now with her Lord, and her dear husband. We read they had worked with the young married couples for over 20 years at First Baptist. They worked with them long before that at Inman Park Baptist Church. Gene and I met at their home Christmas, 1956, at a fellowship after Sunday evening worship service. I was new to Inman Park and Gene was a long-time member. I remember we had such a good time....

When we think of Bill and Bernice we think of love, laughter and "fellowship." They were the model of a happy and successful marriage to many young couples.We are grateful they that invested their lives in our early married years.Our condolences to the family.

Bernice was our Young Married director at First Baptist Atlanta. Always the party girl, she joyfully attended more than her share of baby showers. She influenced and encouraged many young wives and mothers. Please accept our condolences.

To the Family of Bunny,

Bunny was great Mom, sister, aunt and friend and I had the pleasure of knowing her for over 20 years. She was always gracious and generous when I was with her. Bunny will be missed by everyone.

With Deepest Sympathy,
Richard & Sara McEvoy

Bill and Bernice were such a blessing to us when we were in the young married department. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss. It is comforting to think that they now are reunited.

As two who benefited greatly from Bernice and Bill's unconditional love and acceptance, generosity, and modeling of a Godly marriage, we are deeply saddened. Thank you, Bunny, for your love and grace, your hospitality, and showing us that His grace is sufficient.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
