I have very fond memories of the wonderful way Bernie always displayed the best sportsmanship during my years playing on the Swinger's softball team. She always had a smile and great words of encouragement.. My deepest sympathy to Pete, Candy, Lisa and the rest of the family.
Thank you for sharing her with the rest of us.

What a beautiful picture of Mrs. Bernita. Her warm spirit and love of music will always linger... My fondest memory was having the privilege to sing along while she played her piano creating such a happy space in our hearts. My prayer Lisa is that wonderful memories of gladness step in to soothe your sadness. Blessings to you, Doug, and your family~
