Thoughts and prayers for the family..
Bernice and John have always been great neighbors . Bernice always knew you when she saw you.

To the Villcheck family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all in the loss of your mother & grandmother. Bernice was such a sweet lady and I’m glad that we had the pleasure of seeing her on occasion. I loved sitting there and talking with her.
