I am so sorry for your loss Rick. I had the pleasure of getting to know Bernice while she and my my aunt were roommates at Masonicare. It was wonderful listening to stories from her past.

My deepest sympathy to Rick and all the Nieces and Nephews you had a very caring Aunt. Kathy Zaniewski

I met Bernice a short time ago at Masonicaire. I had the honor of being her roommate. She added so much joy to my stay. Rick your devotion to Bern, and her's to you was wonderful to watch. I have prayed for her every day and will continue to do so. I grew to love Bernice in the short time I had the pleasure of her company.

Our meeting in Dunedin- at the remote beach- proved more than coincidence. For the past several years, many in our family grew to love, and admire a most remarkable woman-BERNICE. All of us are saddened by your loss. Rick-please know that you and Bernice's loved ones are in our thoughts and prayers. With our deepest sympathy- Joan and Pat Alix and family
