My condolences and prayers to the family of Bernice Hardy Jones.
While I did not have the honor of knowing Bernice Jones personally, I have the pleasure of knowing her son Daryl through our mutual workplace. Children are often reflections of their parents and I'm sure it's the case here. A caring heart, quick wit, love of life and God, are just a few of the qualities I see in Daryl that I'm sure were passed down from Bernice. The apple never falls far from the tree!
I know she will be greatly missed, but we will see her again one day and have a wonderful reunion in heaven. May God keep us all close to his heart until then.

Letitia, Daryl, Eric and family stay strong for each other. In those quiet moments think of the good times and the laughter that you shared with your mom. Letitia I will always have a smile every time I think of your mom and one thing she would do to make up laugh and give a side eye ; ).
