Those we love are with the Lord and the Lord has promised to be with us. If they are with Him and He is with us they are not that far away,Your friend in Christ. Virginia

Nancy and Family,

May Bernice rest in peace, cradled in the arms of the Almighty, surrounded by angels.

Love always,

I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you were in my thoughts yesterday and pray that God's love will continue to carry you through these difficult days. Your beloved wife is currently walking the streets of gold and enjoying the best music possible. May God bless you forever. Your fiend in Christ.

Nancy, Remeber me. We graduated from East together. What a wonderful and full life your mother lead. I can still remember when David took piano lessons from her. She was a dear to play at all 3 funerals of my children. What a blessing when a Christian enters Heaven. Tell your Dad I said hello and next time I go to Wichita I will call and we can have lunch ..

Nancy and Family, Nancy, though I didn't have the honor of meeting Bernice, she must have been a wonderful lady to have raised such a wonderful daughter. May God's peace be with you at this time. Hold on to the memories of the past; and release the pain of loss into our Savior's loving care.
Love and prayers, Mark & Harolyn Cathey.

Dear Claude,
We are so sorry to hear of Bernice's passing. We know you will miss her terribly. May God give you grace and comfort in this time of sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Claude:

My grandfather, Ed Jurgensen, has been at Riverside Village for the last two years along with Bernie. The love and support that you gave to Bernie has been an inspiration to me and countless others in your steadfast care of her. Her mind has been set free and because of God we have eternal hope. You are in my prayers.

Claude and family,

Bernice touched lives as gently as she touched the keys, and brought to life melodies that will last within us a lifetime and beyond. Her wit, joy-filled smile, gleeful childish joy and deep faithfulness are her legacy. Her mind may have failed lately, but now made clear and new, surely she is smiling in the joy and peace of her faith. I cherish our visits at Hyde Park, she at the organ, me sitting on the altar railing learning, sharing and being linked...
