So sorry for your loss. Bernice was friends with my mom who passed in 2016. They wrote letters back and forth. I carried on the tradition and continued to write back to Bernice. I miss her. I just learned of her passing. She was a wonderful person.

Gus and Sandra I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was such a lovely lady. So many wonderful memories of her being such a good friend to my mother. I could walk into my mothers kitchen each Wednesday knowing that your mom had been there because they were some lovely dishes on the kitchen counter. You two can be so proud of yourselves for taking wonderful care of her in her later years.

Dear loved ones. Bernice was such a caring person and I loved the opportunities to have conversation with her. We often talked of our Christian faith and the hope of eternal life we have. Heaven has most certainly gained a saint. May our loving Lord wrap His arms around all the family and friends who loved Bernice dearly.

—Wayne Giese
