Dear Knoss family,
I so sorry. I remember meeting Bernice in New Orleans 40 years ago. I learned then how important she would be to SAI and our relationship as time went on. She never had to be up front to display how important she was.
Don´t ever let her go, pray to her and look for her signs that she will send you. Be assured that her memory will always live on with me and my family. God Bless you all.
