**********************************
"Bernice was a wonderful person and a good friend to all who knew her. She was very loved by her family. She was the last of the Bartel clan from that particular family. She will be sorely missed. She was a great aunt. She sure did know how to make young kids happy, and she made the best cup of hot chocolate I have ever tasted. It is not Goodbye Bernice, but just so long, I'll see you later ! May she rest in peace with her mother whom she adored, and the rest of her family whom she loved too."
