Bernice was our neighbor since 2010 and she was considered part of our family. We would sit on our porch and chit chat when the weather was nice and her and Bill would always celebrate holidays and give all our kids goodies. Sometimes I would cook extra food and we would take a plate over and she would always return the containers with little candies Bernice always had good stories to tell and i would share them at work. We just moved to SC the beginning of October and Bill & Bernice were the best. The world was a better place with our “Neecey”. She will be missed. May she rest In piece and watch over us from above.
