Auntie Bernice always will I remember your beautiful smile, you kind words of encouragement, you constant reminder to me to remember family and also about being a good young man. It was those memories and more that I draw back on during the times that I think of you.
To my cousins Michael, Rashid "Pops", Vickie, Yvette and Tonya there will be days to come where we will think of Mother (Auntie Bernice) and it is during those times that sadness will try to overcomeus, but it is during those times that the vast memories that she gave us should come to mind and the emptiness should become overshadowed with joy.
The images of my Auntie Bernice that I cherish the most are etched in my heart and mind and I draw from them often as I come to grasp that though physically she isn't here her memories keeps her with me always.
To you my cousins know that I love you all and remember that individually we stand scattered and limited in our ability; but together we are inseparable and our strenght unlimited and there is no limit to what we can do. God Bless you all.
