I am so sorry for your loss. Please in your spare time read Psalms 46:1 saying; God is a refuge and strength, a help that is readily to be found during difficult times. So please go to him and taste and see that he can heal your heart because he can read your heart and know what you and your family are truly going through during this difficult time. I hope these few words and facts help you in the days ahead.
I rejoice to hear what a good long life Bernice had. Praise the Lord that she is now home with the Lord and her loved ones who have gone before her. I still have fond memories of our caregroup that meet in her and Fred’s home.
Your are all in my prayers.

I recently read about the loss of your dear loved one. Although we are not acquainted personally please accept my condolences. Psalms 90:10 says ‘in themselves the days of our years are seventy years; and it’s because of special mightiness they are eighty years…’ Amazing! Cherish the memories and the times you shared. May the God of comfort continue to be with you during this difficult time.
The joy of The Lord is my strength.’ For over 35 years your testimony to our family has been based on The Lord and His Almighty Love. We praise God for every day that you were in our lives. Gary, Sandy, Chip, Christin, Gabe, Grady, Griffin, Addie and Piper.
Bernice has been my sweet aunt from the
day I was born 62 years ago. She was always lots of fun growing up, always ready to do something or go somewhere on the spur of the moment. She was my spiritual
advisor guiding me through problems at the
various churches I’ve belonged to. Bernice
and Fred really stepped up when my mother exited my life. My family spent wonderful visits with them for years. I will always miss her.
Heaven is surely a more joyous place with Bernice in it! She was always a barrel of fun and we enjoyed so much all the visits to the Goetz home. How happy she must be to reunite with Fred and Martha, but most of all Jesus! Our condolences to the family. She cannot return to us but we must go to her.
I just saw where Ms Berenice has passed away. I’m so sorry for your loss. It was always such a pleasure to be with her and talk about the things of the Lord. I pray God to wrap His arms of comfort & love around you. May He always be with you. Love, Karen
