Just wanted to offer my heartfelt sympathy to you the family of Bernice. It was truly my pleasure to serve with her doing color guard duties b/4 the start of sporting events @ the school. It was something she did with great pride & honor. Also, I must say her donuts will surely be missed by the community. She was a wonderful lady one as I'm sure the community will say be surely missed. Peace to her memory!! vonnie johnson-quam
