I miss you Bernie.  So often I reach for the phone to call you.  I am grateful that I had you in my life as you taught me many valuable lessons.  Know I am doing my best to stay present in your children’s lives to guide them, listen to them and love them.

You will always be my big sister and I will always love you.

You are forever in my heart Bernice. We sure had fun back in the day❤️

It's 1 year now since God chose you. I think of you so much, you always made us laugh at work. We were a good team for sure. I still laugh at the time when I called 911 for you. You were not happy with me when I got to the hospital after work. I will never forget your words F___ you Marge! But we were both laughing when I left. Miss you. I am sure you are laughing with many in Heaven. Miss you my friend. Until we meet again, ❤ Marge

Mom this has been the hardest year. They say we get thru it but i just wonder how.  We miss you so much, your crazy loud and wild lady you were.  Never a dull moment with you mom.  Love you so much 💜💜

Grandma, 
I miss you so much... Not a day goes by where I don’t think about you. I miss your big hugs... I miss your beautiful smile... I love you <3 I know you will be watching over all of us with my dad <3 

Love, 
Nick <3


Bernice was loved by so many. Our family loved her deeply. There are so many good  times with her. She would have you in stiches laughing. There was never a dull moment with her around. She was one not to bite her tongue and you always knew how she felt. I will miss her deeply but she will always be in my heart and thoughts. 

Your mom was truly an extraordinary woman and was admired by everyone who knew her.

May time heal the sadness that you feel with the loss of your Mother. During these tough times, know that you are in our thoughts and prayer.

I am eternally grateful for all you gave.  You will be missed and loved.

God bless you all, Ledesmas and Pinedas. I'm praying for you all during this difficult time.  Bernice will always be in my heart, I have so many great memories and pictures of my fun, loyal and hard working friend. Til we meet again Bernice💖

You were a terrific sister-in-law and I sure do miss you! I’ve reached for the phone to call you so often but there’s no phone in heaven! Dave misses you terribly. You weren’t supposed to leave yet! We love and miss you!💕💕💕

I met Bernice AKA Bernie when I was seventeen years old.  She was my mentor and trainer at a local resident facility.  We became fast friends and eventually we were like sisters.  Her children are like my own.  We shared many fond memories together and she will forever live in my heart.  My condolences to those that called her “mom, grandmother, sister and wife.  Due to Covid 19 I will be unable to attend the services but with be with you all in spirit as we say farewell.  May she “Rest In Peace with the angels”.

Grandma,

The Lord received a special angel in Heaven when you entered. Gone too soon, and forever missed.  I have many wonderful memories that I will cherish. Cancer didn't win Bernice, God chose you. Rest in peace my friend.

Grandma,
You’ve touched the lives of so many but none more so than me. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for me and loving me for me. Your love was infinite. Now you leave a void in my heart that could never be filled. You’re my hero, I love you so much. Our memories I’ll keep forever. My days are missing my good morning mija and I’m waiting until I hear it again. In my heart you’ll stay until that day. 
I love you forever. <3

I’m so honored to have known you. I will always remember the stories you would tell me and your advice you will give me even if I didn’t want to hear the truth you would tell it. I loved your honesty, your love for your family and to Mr. Alex. Your love story was one that I looked up too.  You were one amazing person and I will deeply miss you.
