Dear LaVaughn, Shannon, and family,
My heart is with you all during this time of loss. I’ve been thinking so much about Aunt Bernice and the incredible life she lived. She wasn’t just a part of our family; she was a light in all of our lives, touching hearts and spreading love wherever she went. I know her warmth and wisdom will forever echo in the stories we share.
I’m sending you all strength and peace as you navigate this tough time. May God wrap you in comfort, and may Aunt Bernice rest in eternal peace, always remembered with love and affection. Her spirit will always live on in us.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Cousins: Emanuel Williams, Kimberly Holmes-Williams, Abrianna, Amaya and Angelo.

LaVaughn,Shannon and the rest of family. I'm so sorry I can't be there with. My heart is so heavy. Bernice and I would talk for hours throughout the day. "The void is real*. Our relationship grew when I was nine years old babysitting LaVaughn and Shannon. Spending the weekends and you better know you going to church. Most time I would call her past Bishop Dillings, cause woman knew that bible.. she was for what Bible stood for. I'm going to miss Ms. Hallmark is another name I would call her. She knew the right word to tell you for what and how you were feeling.. "Auntie B" I've been struggling. I know wouldn't want. So, I'm going to pray for me and the family. I will always keep you in my heart, but it broken. You go on and take rest. I will see you soon, Love you Your Lacka. Rest in peace

I just wanted to say thank you for being such a wonderful Grandma B to our family, to me personally, and to our children. You had a wonderful loving effect on both Logan and Landon, though a different effect on each. I see in Logan the messages of faith that you have opened him up too, and instilled in him; his faith is a big portion of his life and a place he can go to for helping him make decisions and find peace and meaning. I see in Landon his compassion coming from you and the way you believe in caring for others and the way you demonstrated that by caring for our family…
You gave both boys lots of unconditional love, were always involved in and curious about both of their lives. You expected them to always work hard and to try their best, and that no matter the outcome, they always felt loved by you. Their appreciation for food probably comes from you too…
It was always a pleasure having you in our home and sharing our lives, and I hope you know how much we still love you, and we will all miss you greatly.
Thank you for everything you did for our family.
Love, Jonathan

To the family of Sister Bernice Dillings. If you ever had to walk into a room and feel tense for no reason, just the presence of Sis. Bernice's smile will bring calm to that room.
I felt blessed to have met her a few years ago at a New Jersey Conference Branch WMS Executive Meeting in Trenton.
In my first year as a newly appointed Area WMS Chairperson, we invited her to our
WMS Annual Day Service. Unable to attend, Sis. Bernice sent me a card via the mail in support of our Society.
That was a defining moment that reminded me that Sis. Bernice was a woman of character.
"Well done, good an faithful servant". Rest in peace...
Sis. Brenda A. Skinner

Spending every weekend with you was nothing short of fun, laughter, trying new things and just enjoying each other's company. Ur smile everytime I came was amazing I will forever cherish seeing your smile. Given the opportunity to share and spend your last days with you was indeed a great honor bestowed upon me by Shannon( thank you hun)

To the Dillings and Schafer families: I’m heartbroken and devastated just as you are about Grandma Bernice’s transitioning; however, I’m rejoicing knowing that the pain is gone and she is resting in the bosoms of Our Lord and Savior! Grandma Bernice, I love you! Thank you for pouring into me daily. Get your well deserved rest. God bless your soul.

As I grew in my role in the WMS, Sister Bernice wasn’t just my missionary sister, but a mentor and a loyal and trusted friend. We would laugh, fuss about certain things and laugh together about things. She was the smile that I always looked for, she was truly special. Her love and support will truly be missed but her WMS legacy will live with us forever. Rest “B” and continue to smile on us, I will miss you but you will forever live in my heart.♥️ “A”
