Aunt Bernice will always be remembered as a strong and vibrant woman that was extremely thoughtful and caring. I take comfort in knowing that she has been reunited with Uncle Chester.
With love,

I just found out about Aunt Bernice's death today, December 23rd. My family and I (nieces and nephews of Uncle Chester and Aunt Bernice on the Lenkowski side of the family) would have attended the services had we known. We live in the western suburbs and had no knowledge.

Aunt Bernice was a "tough old broad" with a heart of gold. We were lucky to have her in our family.

I would love to talk to one of her surviving relatives (on her side of the family) to find out what happened. Please e-mail me

Aunt Bernice always made sure to remember all her nieces and nephews on their birthdays and graduations, etc. She will be missed but now she can be with Uncle Chester again. She was a good person and a wonderful Great Aunt!
