I am going to miss Bernice because she was such a wonderful person and a great friend to all she came in contact with. She was a very special friend to my Mother (Jean Cook) and all of my family. I know she is with God now and will be waiting for the rest of us when it's our time with a big feast prepared to great us with. I can only hope that when my time comes that people left behind will feel as proud to have known me as I am about having had to pleasure of knowing Bernice. What a great Lady…

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Dane, Cindy and Family,
We are so sorry for the loss of your mother. Bernice was such a very special lady and we loved her as one of our own family members. There was always a smile on her face and never a negative thought or word came from her. Bernice was such a dear friend to our Mom, Jean, as well as our entire family. She will be greatly missed by all.
Love,

Our sincere condolences go out to Bernice's family on behalf of the Kiser family in Las Vegas, Nevada. When our cousin Jean Cook of Charlotte introduced her dear friend Bernice to us many years ago while visiting Vegas, Bernice immediately became another extended member of the Kiser family. Showing her for ever gracious Southern hospitiality it was always a treat to see her bright smiling sweet face. She never came out to Vegas without bringing the " Kiser Boys' some of her famous Carolina Fat Boys BBQ. From Momma Irene, Reggie, Jack and Fred, we're are going to miss you Miss Bernice, Rest In Peace, sweet lady.

Dane and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I did not know Bernice well; however I know she was a very giving person and a wonderful great grandmother to the girls. Zoey and Anna spoke often of Grandma Holland. She will be missed and has left every one she touched with kindness and wonderful memories.
