Sending my deepest condolences to the family. May you allow comfort from our Grand Creator to hold you during your time of need…Rom 15:4
I am so sorry to hear of Ms Bernice passing. My sincere condolences to the family. She will be missed dearly.
I am so in shock that Ms. Bernice has passed away! We had not been in touch in a very long time so this has hit me very hard. I met Bernice when living in a hi-rise apartment in Ft. Washington. My son and I used to look after her grandson when they were little boys. I’m putting all this because I would like her son to remember us and know how much she meant to us. As time goes on, you lose touch, but my sister had been in touch with her and again lost that connection a few years back. I am so very sorry to have to read this and feel very badly that I lost touch. Sincere condolences to the family.
Praying for the family during this time. Special thoughts to my sister in law Connie Bland. Keep yall hands in Gods hand and he will take care of you. Weeping may endure for a night BUT JOY WILL COME IN THE MORNING. Prayer still works. Lovingly. Your sis in law. Darleen.
Lady Johnson – Thank you for all of the wonderful years at Maryland and for the wonderful times that we shared. You truly saw me ‘grow up’ in Undergraduate Admissions and encouraged me along the way through all of life’s victories and challenges. I appreciate your love and support and you know you always had mine in return. I will continue to think of you often! Your family will also continue to be in my prayers.
Love,
James
So sorry for your loss. Im am the caregiver for mrs Lettie Thompkins and sister in law to Connie Bland
My sincere condolences to the Johnson family. Mrs. Johnson processed a kind soul and loving heart. I pray that God comforts you all and gives you inner peace in your spirit during this most difficult time. Mrs. Johnson is smiling down on all of you with great pride and joy from Heaven. Continue to stick together and love one another as she taught you. God bless.
I remember Bernice with such a sweet spirit from my old church the Ark of Safety Christian. She always spoke with a pretty smile. May GOD comfort abd strengthen the family doing this difficult time. Our prayers and condolences to the family.

Memories… Let them fill your mind, warm your heart, and lead you through.
A family is a circle of love, not broken by a loss, but made stronger by the memories. We are forever blessed that God connected us to you.

I was shocked to recently hear of Bernice’s passing. My family loved Bernice soooo very much. We know she’s with the Lord, and we are praying for her family (her children — she was sooo proud of them). Our paths drifted away when we came to attend different churches, but I will never forget the love, friendship, and guidance she gave me, while we worked (and I was a returning student) at the University of Maryland at College Park. I could not have had a better friend!!! I love you, Bernice!!!!
