Mac– for Edward and I seeing you and Bernice in church (St Tim’s) was always a sunny morning — Bernice always so warm, caring and positive. We look forward to seeing you Mac in the supportive fold of your Christian family.
Rev. Philip Penrod says
Dear Mac and Family,
May you be assured of God’s presence and aware of His deep peace during this difficult time.
Bernice was a mainstay at the weekly Anglican and Lutheran worship services at the Canterbury Foundation. We first got to know her for her kindness and gentleness as a volunteer visitor and later as a resident. She delighted in helping us get to know the many residents and staff that she had come to know through her years of volunteering.
Rest eternal grant her, O Lord! And may thy light perpetual shine upon her. Amen.
Pastor Philip Penrod and the People of Our Savior Lutheran Church
