Oh, what a loving person Berenice was! Each and every time I saw her over the many years I knew her, she just exuded love, warmth, caring and friendship. It was always great to have a conversation with her. I pray at this hour that she is resting in the hands of our dear Lord. And I pray for her family that they can accept the will of our God at this sad hour. May you rest in peace.
