Bernice and I shared so many special moments..I truly loved her just like a grandmother. I will truly miss her more then anything. She was a very special lady with a sparkling personality. I will miss you bernice.
Dear Mark and Anne, Roy and Rhea, and Ron:
I was so sorry to read your Mom had passed on, and yet grateful that I really got to know her, and your late father Ralph. They were such kind and loving folks, and I still have a CD that you Dad’s Florida Band made and listen to it in my car, often.
Having gotten to know Mark and Anne personally, I sure do miss you two, and having communicated with Roy I too miss him.
God’s Love always has met and always will meet every human need.
I Pray that all of your needs are being met, and you know that Ralph and Bernice are in a better place, and have gone to prepare a place for all of you.
Love,
Bill Halliburton
To the family you have my deepest condolences. What an honor to have known Bernice. She will always hold a special place in my heart. There are so many memories to even count, some tears and plenty of laughter (and pictures lol). I will always be grateful for our friendship. It was truly one of a kind. I am so Blessed to have had Bernice be a part of my life. Much love my friend until we meet again. Angela
