  5. Aunt Bernice

    Aunt Bernice was a sweet and special lady. I loved to hear her laugh. I’ll never forget her and my dad dancing together on more than one occasion! It’s heartbreaking to lose a parent but you don’t want them to suffer either. I have some good memories and I will miss her.

    Rest In Peace.
