Being the first daughter of Auntie B's older sister, Ora, when I was also born on January 8th, I was named for her and she was my godmother. As children we always looked forward to visiting her & Uncle Kenneth & our cousins at their dairy farm. We always enjoyed her beautiful gardens and great cooking. She & her family were a special part of my life that will always remain in my fond memories. Sincere sympathy and love to her whole family - Love, Bernie

Aunt Bernice (Auntie "B") will be fondly remembered for all the wonderful times with her and our cousins, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, collecting eggs with her in the hen house; playing in the barn, and having her show off the garden...We love you, Auntie B, and you will always be with us.

Dear Howard, Ronnie, Arlene, and family,
Your mother was a very special aunt. I always enjoyed visiting her. I remember how proud she was of her garden and how much she enjoyed the birds. I now have seen a rose breasted grosbeak at my bird feeder, but the first one I ever saw was at hers. I will always remember her fondly. I hope you can find peace with her passing.
Sincerely, Barbar
