Dr. Bernice Stephens Dodd

To the family of Dr. Dodd, it is now many months since her death that I'm learning of your loss. She was a great friend and while I had not seen her for many years I remember the wonderful lady that she was.

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief.

Mrs. Dodd, I cannot remember my life without you. You have always been a wealth of information, A sound source, a be-loved family friend, and one of the greatest women I have ever met. Your presence in my life will leave an immeasurealbe mark of excellence that will remain the rest of my life. I thank you for your words of wisdom, hope, and encouragements throughout my life. A part of you will live on in everyone that knew you, for you were a angel without wings.

Till we meet again...

God-Mom,
Our time on this earth together was very breif, however if I had a lifetime with you I am sure I would have been blessed to be in your presence, as many others have been. One year was not enough, but was long enough to feel the warmth of your love. Thanks for loving me, and always showing your love through the thoughfulness of your gifts. I thank you for leaving me my God-sister and brother, I know you will shine through them.

I will miss you.
Your God-Son Collin...

To My Aunt Bernice, I will always remember you taking me, and my God-Mother to Dinner every Sunday, and to Goodrich for icecream. Remember, me, you, and Charese's favorite flavor is vanilla. You took me to T.J. Maxx to find nice things often, and I will miss our times together. I will also miss your face in the chour, and praise team, and most of all..I will miss you.

Love, Jurnee

I have tried my best to imagine my life without the enriching experience of knowing you and your family for the past 23 years. From fashion shows, pagents, holidays, kids summer program, trip to Disney World, Church affiliations, and any other time and place through the years we have shared. You and your family have always lite up our lives. With Christ being the cornerstone of our relationship and love steering us on, our family has been greatly blessed to have known you and your family. ...

May God Bless and keep you all, during the Homegoing celebration of your loved one. May God lift your burden right now in the name of Jesus.God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think Amen.

To Bill Dodd and Stephens Family, may god be with you during this time of sorrow. Bernice was a strong, courageous and determined woman, Omaha will miss her dearly. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her and befriend her. She was very instrumental in helping me to acheive career and personal accomplishments. Her strong determination and christian devotion are qualities she shared with all who knew her well. My prayer is that we meet again in God's Kingdom.
