Bernice and I were great friends for many years. Lots of loving memories with her, Lonzie and the family. Had many good meals at her home and loved her famous fried pies.
She was a funny, loving caring person. Lonzie and Bernie took me under their wings and loved me like I was one of their own children.
We spoke on the phone after her most resent hospital stay. She told me how the kids was so good to her and she loved them very much.
Bernice was a women with Gods own heart. She was always glad to hear from me as I was her. She was beautiful inside and out. I was so broken to hear the news of her passing. I will miss our phone calls.☹️ Most of all I will miss you!
Bernice so now go rest high on the mountain.
I love you!
