- Catherine B. Jimison
Mon, you left us today,
You had to go.
You left us with this loneliness,
We all loved you so.
God in His garden
Need a very special rose,
You were the very best,
And the best is what he chose.

Although she had many hardships to face during her life, Bernice was a source of strength and comfort in times of need. She was always ready to put aside her own pain to ease someone else’s.
