Condolences for Bernetta Harrell
To Brett and Family:
Please accept my most heartfelt condolences on the passing of your mother. Aunt Bern was very special to me, and I will never forget how she showed us the love of Jesus Christ and shared her knowledge of the Gospel with us when we were teenagers. She always made us feel welcome in her home and admonished us to fear the Lord. I cannot think of a greater testimony than that. Again, you have my sympathies.
Yours in Christ,

I am sorry to hear about the
I am sorry to hear about the loss of Ms. Harrell. I was a CNA at Harrison House and took care of "Ms.Bernie" for quite some time. She was a wonderful lady with a great spirit. I know she is in heaven with her maker, and probably dancing away!
