Dear Lee, Stacey, Rob and family-I’m soo sorry about your loved one. I hope Bernice finds comfort in Heaven with those who have passed into Gods kingdom before her. I will always remember all the fun times all of us ‘kids ‘ had fun playing in Summit Bridge and then your ‘big house’! I’ll always remember her at GHS when she would offer me a ‘special teachers’ lunch! It was really just a big salad! But I loved it! May your sad days be replaced with those of happiness, joy and laughter! ❤️
