I met Bernice about 10 years ago when we were both work at Bloomingdale’s in NYC. We became fast friends and kept each other laughing during those stressful retail hours. After Bernice retired from Bloomingdale’s, she and I met monthly for dinner. We formed a beautiful friendship that I will cherish always. My favorite memory of Bernice was going to see the Broadway show Come from Away together. The theaters had just reopened after COVID and it felt magical to be back in the theater watching that show. Bernice was so thrilled that she cried. Bernice was a class act, with endless stories, a delightful laugh, and a real zest for life. I will miss her terribly. Rest in Peace, my friend.
