A heartfelt thank you for the extraordinary care and kindness Bernice received.
She was a remarkable woman who faced many challenges and new chapters throughout her life always without regret or complaint, quietly and confidently rising to embrace every step of her journey. Her spirit, strength and goodness will live on in our hearts and remind us to embrace each new day as a blessing, an opportunity and a celebration. We are all better people for having had her in our lives.
