How we wished we knew Bernice in her prime. she was such a blessing to us when our dear mom was in care. Bernice would break into song, singing the praises of jesus at a moment when we had a need. We know she was not always aware of doing this but we do know that God rose up in her and continued to bless those around her. Our love and prayers for Ted and the family. Steve and Betty-Jo
