Dear Susan and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Bernice's passing. I only found out about it today and was heart sick. She was such a wonderful, sweet woman who always was happy when we could talk on the phone. I loved her spirit and her kindness. The world is certainly a lesser place without cousin Bernice. She was the last of a great generation who kept our world on an even footing. I know that you are grief stricken. If you ever want to talk, you can reach me at 771-1951. She reminded me so much of my grandmother, Ponnie Priest.
