To the Miller Family I was so saddened to hear of Ms. Berneice's passing she was truly a very nice lady, I can remember as a kid growing up she always treated me as her own and I always felt welcomed in her home. Rest assured she is indeed in a better place. I cannot make the service, but I will keep each of you in prayer. I pray that you all find comfort and peace in the days to come. God Bless!!
