May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To Glenda and the James'/Anderson's Extended Family:

You have our love and prayers at this time. As part of the extended family, we called her name in our family prayertime, and remembered you as well. Aunt Bernice's vibrant personality made her so special - she and Arese were such salespeople! Health limitations surely frustrated her. Now she's at rest. May God bless you for your caregiving and strengthen you going forward.

To Glenda and the James/Anderson Family:
Our condolences go out to you and the entire family on the recent passing of Bernice this past week. Our families were next door neighbors for almost 60 years. Bernice was as important to our family as she was to the James/Anderson families. She was instrumental in our lives as a neighbor, but, she was also our surrogate mother at Tolleston High School as well as at home. Bernice always encouraged us to succeed in life and school in spite of the times. She will be missed greatly by all of us who knew her well.

Respectfully, your neighbors,

The Smith family

Dear Glenda:
Berneice was truly blessed to have a neice such as you. You were her caregiver. You will be blessed also for taking care of your Aunt Beneice during her illness. Remember that she is now in a better place where there will be no more pain or sorrows.
