Losing Bernard feels like losing a piece of us. He was more than a friend — he was a constant, a protector, someone who always showed up with a smile and made you feel like everything would be okay. He had this amazing strength and a heart full of kindness. We'll miss his laugh, his stories, and the way he cared for everyone, especially Marlee. Bernard, thank you for being such a big part of our lives. We'll carry you with us always and forever our friend 💜

Condolences and prayers to the Bivens and McClendon families. GOD's blessings to his mother Dora Neal, his siblings and his aunts Shirley Ruth, Tara and Phyllis. I grew up with the Bivens' sisters and considered them family. I have known them 50 plus years, considered them my sisters. Whenever I will see Phyllis, will tell her to tell her sisters that I said hello and that I love them. It broke my heart to hear about Bernard, immediately thought about Dora Neal. I love you sister but GOD loves you more. Me and my mother's condolences and prayers are with you and the family.. love y'all Winfred and Sarah Staton...RIP Bernard🌻🙏🏽

JW Staton

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
