Berma was a delightful, loving woman. She was like a mother to Leroy and I. She really thought Leroy was so funny and loved hiim like her own. Always smiling, never complaining and willing to talk about anything, we loved her as a dear and wonderful friend. May God let her rest in peace. Love to Berma and her family.
