On behalf of Crystal Springs Assisted Living, I'd like to extend sympathy to the family of Bernice. While she and Bob lived with us...she and her relatives brought such joy to those around her. Always happy, eager to join in and often offering humor - that beautiful smile will always be remembered. Now in heaven with Bob - they are together again.
Your in our prayers,
