We have fond memories of visiting Jerry and Berneda during our trip to Arkansas. Berneda was such a gracious host, kind and generous during our time together. Her smile lit up the room and we will always treasure those moments with her. May memories of her life bring you joy in this difficult time. God bless all family and friends as we mourn her passing, but give thanks to God as he receives her in Heaven for eternity.
We are saddened by the loss of such a beautiful soul, but happy to know that she has joined all of her loved ones in Heaven in God's hands. I'd sure my mama, Erma Norene (Fox)Hardin was one of the first to greet her at the pearly gates, she loved Berneda so much. Rest in peace Berneda.
So sorry for the passing of Berneda. She was so faithful in church and loved by everyone who knew her. Prayers for God's comfort and peace for her family.
