After Bernice moved back to Washington from Arizona, .she came to our West Seattle High School yearly reunions and our class of ’51 ladies luncheons. She was such a sweet caring lady and always happy and smiling. I was fortunate enough to ride with her to the ladies luncheons for a few years. We will miss her at our reunions and luncheons. My sympathy to all her family and Bill.

Berniece and Jerry were the kindest of neighbors and friends to my family. I have many great memories of them.
