Bernice was the best neighbor you could ask for. She was family and she will be deeply missed.
Berneice was not just our neighbor, she was our friend. We shared our concerns and our happiness. She had her cup of tea and I had coffee and we loved to share that in the morning if we both had the time. We will miss her.
We are praying for the family during this time. We love you all.
Bernice used to work for me at the vending company in Arden. She,Freddie,and Louise Roberts would ride with me. I am so sorry to hear of her death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We delivered Meals on Wheels to Bernice for a few years and always hoped we could spend a few minutes visiting with her. She enjoyed the company and always had interesting things to share. I have missed her since she moved away. Our condolences to the family.
Bernice was such a wonderful neighbor. I can still remember her knocking on the back door and sharing laughter with her. I believe we all called her our backdoor neighbor. She will be deeply missed. My prayers are with her family.
To The Family of Bernice
I am amazed what God gave us in our mothers. Each are special and unique in their own way. That was Bernice for me always smiling.
At Worship time she sat where I use to with my mother and thus we always had special greetings for each other and how accepting the gift of candy from me to her.
Folks never look down but up with your knowledge of praise and blessing- for your mother is now resting with Jesus Christ her Lord.
I will pray God will do the same for you today, tomorrow and forever remembering only the good that comes from knowing where Bernice is now in eternity.
