Note from Sharon: This lady was the mother of my best friend Bernice, she was a grand old lady whose memory never failed. She could tell stories of her childhood better than I can remember mine. She was always pleasant, always enjoyed her Bible, loved having company, and loved to talk to anyone who would listen.
