I will miss Bernice’s hugs & friendliness at church. She certainly portrayed her Christianity through her kind, loving personaility.
Thank you Auntie Bernice for always being so lovely and gracious and a setting such a grand example of how to grow older while still remaining hip and cool. I will miss you dearly.
