Dear Robert & Family
Fondest memories of Bernice will always remain with us, we met many years ago when my daughter at the age of two became fond of your dear mother Margaret..she shared her rosary at Mass each Sunday, we have kept in touch over the years at the holidays and you always remembered Heidi with cards at Christmastime...You shared her First Communion and Confirmation with us.
We were very sorry to hear that Bernice passed, she was a kind woman and we will fondly remember her...
