I love you so and will miss you. Cousin Howard Gene.
Our entire family extends sincere sympathy to Dennis and all who so loved Bernice. We know that with her memory there will always be a special glow reflecting the spirit and true meaning of Christmas, the day she celebrated in her heart and mind every day of the year.
