To all the family:
I remember Bernice and
the others when we
visited Great Aunt
Margarets. And even
chatted to check on
everyone as we bought
our produce. She will
be missed. it saddens
us but we will see her
again. Russell you have
your angel in heaven.
Prayers and love to each
of you.
Russell and family, I am so sorry for your loss.
Bernice was a jewel. Wednesdays were special
because Russell and Bernice would stop by the old
Courthouse in Jonesborough and we all got the
chance to get the great fruits and vegetables.And
Bernice would always give everyone a good laugh.
She loved picking on Russell.My thoughts and
prayers are with you and your family at this
difficult time.
