    We are so sorry to hear of Bernieda’s passing, she was alway fun to be around. We were all great friends having fun on flower deliveries at our funeral, in Flora. Kristal worked at Bruce’s flower shop with Berneida and they were always pulling stunts on each other. We visited with her just a few weeks before my stroke and hadn’t talked with her since. She was a great person and will be.greatly missed.by all. May she rest in peace in the presence of the Lord. Goodnight Berneida well done
