I knew Bernice when I was a child growing up in Alexander. Her home was right next to the school, so we passed it every week day. When I grew up and worked for MTS, I ran into Bernice again as she was married to Art. Both were wonderful people and I know she will be missed. She will always be in her children’s heart, right next to Art. My condolences to the family. Darlene (Preston) Van Mulligen. - Posted by: Darlene Van Mulligen (Friend) on: Jun 29, 2023
