“Auntie Bernice” was a very thoughtful, compassionate, loving, affectionate, and humorous person. As the “BabySister” of her siblings, she made it her business to fix it when things got out of hand. She would tell me the truth in love with strong doses of humor to balance things out. She taught me how to crochet and made sure that I had a hobby and took good care of myself while also helping others. Auntie was very nice intentional about helping people, giving tips, advice, and directing me to get into the Word of Gods for myself and let God love on me. She would say, “ Speak the Word, child! Honey please!” She would always be caught dancing, singing, praying and having a good time. I will always cherish my Auntie Bernice’ s memory and celebrate her life. Brenda Hawkins
