Messages of Condolence
May fond memories of Bernice bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact that you were able to share these before their passing. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family.
So sorry for your loss. The good news is that her suffering and pain is over forever. I know you will miss her. Her time on earth was so short compared to eternity!
Ann Marie, Patrick and Kids,
I hope you will think back and remember funny and great stories to share and that those will bring you comfort during this difficult time.
Over the next few days, hug each other more often, talk about the fun times, and maybe listen to the special music and eat the foods that your lovely mom, mother-in-law, and Gramma enjoyed. Also take time to look at pictures and videos. Those will bring comfort and you begin to process your sad loss.
With my deepest sympathy,
Jane Cammann
I am a former student and long time friend of Sr. Sharon Anne. Because of that, I had many opportunities to speak to Bernice at various functions. She was always so kind, loving and sweet.
In recent months, Sister has kept me aware of Bernice’s illness and struggles. I was happy to hear she spent her final days with her loving sister nearby.
On behalf of my entire family, I send our deepest sympathies and thoughts of comfort.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
Matt, we knew your mother to be a woman of great integrity and a wonderful wife and mom. She will be missed. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time.
