Our family has been so blessed to know and love Bernice for over two years. We met when our mother went to Sherwood Nursing, they became instant friends. Two Railroad widows who were straight out of the same neighborhood and both loved the Lord. We will miss her so much but we know how happy she is to be with her husband and son. Our love to the family and thank you for sharing her with us.
She was a very sweet lady and will be missed. My prayers are with your family. Fly high sweet lady!
