Bernice is my mother's first cousin. They would chat on the telephone for long periods of time. When mom passed 5 years ago she started to call me. We had many lovely conversations that always included family history. She was a comfort to me during my loss. I will miss you Bernice! My sincere sympathy your family.

Out of respect for those nearest to Aunt B's heart (children, grandchildren), I will defer time to them. My family will not attend the funeral home so that you may be given more of the limited time with her to grieve and love. My heart is with you all. ❤ She will be sorely missed.

My love for my mother and recent loss of my sister have been devastating. Mother was such a special woman in a category all her own. Ive never met anyone who compares to her love, compassion, integrity. She was a strong woman with such a pure soul and love of family. God has a special place in Heaven for her.

We lost a great one. I will forever cherish our memories and the love you have for every single grand child you have. Youve made me into the Grandma I want to be. Until we all meet again in the circle of life I will miss you forever. PS I know I was your favorite grand child although you told me every single time I asked... I love each of you all the same. I love you Grandma. Give Grampa dad and Aunt Ruth hugs for me
