She was a "JOY" to be around. Full of laughter and smiles. A very positive person, never let much get to her, always in a good mood. I will truly miss "MY FRIEND" She always spoke of "Back in the Day" Oh, we had some wonderful times together. A true friend, a warrior and most of all, a WOMAN OF GOD! I Love you BERN!
