Bernice A. Rutledge

Dear Michael, family and friends who have and had the blessings of being in Bernices life....I only knew her for 2 years but during that special intimate time camping, talking, crying, and supporting each other's battle with cancer, she graced me with her love of life. She lived each day to its fullest and has made my life better forever and because of her I will never give up, I will fight the fight and also celebrate each day God has given us. She will always hold a special place in my...

I worked with Bernice at Howard Rensin's office and one of my most fondest memories is her lending me her maternity clothes when I was pregnant with my first son Brandon. She will live in my heart forever.

She fought the good fight and finished her course may she rest in peace.

Love you Bernie.

Michael and family, we are so sad to hear Bernice passed away after such a long battle. I am sure she was, and will continue to be, an inspiration to others engage in similar fights. Even though we have been friends for just a few years, which all started with a Ball canning jar, it seems like we have known you forever. And it is good friends and family in times like these that mean the most. We will continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers, and hope to see you soon.

Mike, Justin, Jesse and all of Bernice's family,
I was so sorry to hear that Bernice had lost her battle. She moves on to the arms of God and her family that has passed before her will be there to guide her way. There have been very few people that I have ever met in my life that were as special as Bernice. She has taught us all how to live our lives, find joy in every day and to look to the positive side of life, not to dwell upon negatives. Her strength and passion throughout the years...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Bernice will be sadly missed at the Glenwood Senior & Community Center. Her bright smile, sincerity, and generous spirit to everyone she encountered, leaves a void within us all. May her family be comforted in knowing that her legacy - her strength to endure and her tireless efforts to raise funds for Cancer research - will live within the hearts and minds of those who knew her.
