I look at her picture and I imagine she is still looking down at us, comforting us and insuring us that everything we do in life is the right thing. She wil always be with us and I pray she will be with us when we pass over. All our prayers continue to be with you Corey and Susan.

So very sorry for your loss. Bernice was a much-beloved neighbor, who would check in on Steve often when he was recovering from surgery. She would usually have a treat to give to our dog, George. We would stop and chat with her while she was outside, or taking her daily walks. She was a kind and gentle spirit and we will always remember her with fondness.

Bernice was a neighbor of my daughter, Karen Conner. Karen introduced me to her a year or so ago. Bernice I believe was a very positive person, and I know Karen will miss visiting with her. The two shared a lot of time together. May God be your source of peace at this time and in the days to come....remember the special times you shared as family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Bernice for the last 2 and 1/2 years of her life. I will never forget her and consider it a gift that God brought us together to be friends. I will miss her and am sorry I wasn't in town for her funeral.

I am sorry for your loss Corey and family. May our LORD comfort you and give you HIS peace that passes all understanding.

Corey and family,
We were so sorry to read about your mom. Losing parents has to be one of the toughest things that we have to go through in this life. Cherish your happy memories from throughout the years. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers during this time.

My sympathy to the family.

I worked with her in my first federal job (as temp) in Civilian Personnel at Langley AFB....way back in 1979.

My favorite memory is when she discovered she had on different color shoes

Ms Bernice was a tough little cookie, and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. It was a blessing to have her as one of Dr Marshall's patients, for so long.

RIP special lady-
