Man that girl could dance! Always glamorous and larger than life, I suspect she's dancing among the stars now to Alley Cat, smiling. She will be missed. What is remembered lives.

I have many memories of Bernice and conversations at the Bait Shop as well as at the Courtland Oakfield UMC where I was pastor. Since learning of her death this morning Harlan and the family have been in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all with his love and comfort!!!!!! Pastor Chuck and Arlene Smith

We all loved to visit Grandma O and Grandpa Harlan during the summers! Our boys, as well as Mark and I, have such wonderful memories of spending family time on the shore of Lake Bella Vista- picnicing on the back porch, jumping off the dock, fishing in the lake…. Grandma, we will miss your caring nature and gentle laugh. Rest Easy. Love, Mark, Karey, Noah and Evan <3
