I looked forward to seeing you with great anticipation . You see, there was something very very special about you, above and beyond one's normal human attributes. I could look into your eyes and it was like a trip where we were holding hands and meeting at a deeper level to almost where God dwells. There was a sense of being with God when one was with you. Your eyes sparkling and penetrating had a hint of other's thoughts and feelings Your spirit even though right on the surface could be characterized as deep and rich and full of a special blend God and love. When I walked into church and looked into your eyes there was a "knowing" factor especially when gently reminded me that you missed me when I missed church or did not come to one of your wonderful special events It was almost like God speaking directly to me ----you had that quality--a quality of knowing --a quality of being part of something larger than human events. You were one member of our church that for some reason for me represented a "deeper knowledge". I sought your acceptance because it seemed to have a "meaning. For me, and for some very spiritual meaning that acceptance was important because it was like God's acceptance. I know that God resides in all of us with each having a special relationship that transcends normal human activity. It's just that I think that God had a very special relationship with you that brought forth a light for all to see and feel and to be guided by as we walked in your shadow. That light will continue to in the hereafter be as blessed as when you were a part of our human world. You enriched that world and will always be a part of our circle of life. Our world is brighter and clearer because of our travels together. Your Friend in Christ Emailed to me by a church member:

She came and stayed with my husband and I after Katrina for a short while and we enjoyed her company so much. She will be missed by many. Yes, Bernice was a wonderful lady inside and out.
