I'm so sorry to hear of Bernice’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
I regret I will be unable to attend services for your mother. I would like to personally extend my sympathy to you, Danny, and to the family. I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings, Norma
A wonderful sweet lady and I know the family will miss her.
My prayers go to every one.
Sincere condolences to all of her friends and family. Always said hi to her when I visited my mom at the nursing home.
