Bernice will always be remembered as a loving and caring person, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. As children we all remember mom’s dedication to bring the Christmas spirit into our home and our love of Jesus Christ into our hearts. We will always cherish our memories of our mother and father and the home they provided.
