A family gathering was not complete without one of Bernice's delicious pies. She was especially famous for her rhubarb custard pies. Everyone always looked forward to this delicacy. Bernice is a diligent, hard-working, kind and loving person. Her love is unconditional. Bernice's family is very important to her. Even though life did not always happen the way she would have liked, she accepted it all with quiet faith as God's will, never complaining.
