Bernice always made sure her grandchildren knew about the Lord and the love he has for his children. In fact, she made sure each of them knew one of the most important verses in the Bible. If she had one more opportunity to witness she would share God's message. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
