My sincere condolences. My thoughts go out to all family and all good friends of Bernice. I wish you all strength to bear the loss of this wonderful person.
I must say that i personally feel that this is a great loss to the "good people pool" on this world.
Though i have not been around a lot lately, Allie (as i know her) during all this time been (and ever since i met her) on my mind because I considered her (and still do) to be a wonderful and good person and i miss her dearly.
It won't be the same without you Allie.
Rest in peace.
