Urhan Family--I was friends with Amanda in gradeschool and though we lost touch through the years, I was very saddened to hear of your loss. Mrs. Urhahn was such a nice and open hearted woman!

I pray that Gods peace be with all of you at this time!

Dearest Urhahn family, I have the most wonderful childhood memories of playing games at your house and eating Bernice's homemade icing. Bernice always made a day special. What a wonderful friend and neighbor Bernice was to my Grandma. It was always a comfort to know your family was next door. Bernice will be missed by all who knew her. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Michael, Sr Rosie and family,
How wonderful it is when our paths in life bring us together to share love, hope, joy and even grief. Bernice was such a blessing to so many. We are so very sorry for your loss and remember her loving spirit.

Dear Urhahn family,
I was very lucky to have had the great opportunity to work with Matthew, Bernice and Michael. I witnessed the great love and respect that was shared with Matthew and their Foster Children. Those babies will miss Bernice's loving care. All who knew Bernice will miss her.
Love,
Mary Curran

Urhahn family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I was friends with Amanda in grade school and wanted you to know what fond memories I have of Bernice. When I think about making a gooey butter cake I think of my time over at your house! Know she has planted so many wonderful seeds in people's lives in even the simplest of ways. I can imagine her getting a full revelation of the impact her life has had right now. Truly a legacy left.

And that is the picture I willkeep - the two of you together, sharing your faith, your lives and your love. I am so saddened by your loss. My prayers, joined with so many others, are with you, Jesse.

Mike and family anyone who knew Bernice loved her. She is and will be missed. We are praying for you all. May God send his comfort today and in the days ahead.
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little we begin to remember not just that you died, but you lived, and your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
Love and comfort to you all,
Ken and Dawn Leppert, & family
