Sorry for your loss. Please accept our deepest sympathies. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Thought that you might like to see Mrs. Bernice’s obituary. Love you!!
My heart felt sympathy and prayers go out to the entire McKnight family I am a friend of Keiths and friend andco-worker of Fredis, Dena and Jamie hope they find peace knowing that momma is in a better place
I personally never met Mrs. Bernice McKnight, but it is at such at sad time that I pay honor to the woman she must have been. Today, I work alongside Joe, as well as his two sons Joey and Jonathan, here at ACS Technologies. There is no doubt that she contributed to their becoming the outstanding family men that they are today, as each of them and their families are wonderful to be associated with on a daily basis. I pray during this difficult time that God blankets the entire McKnight family with a peace that surpasses all understanding, and that we all learn to know more about the generations of blessings that were the result of this woman’s love for her family. We thank her for that, and I thank her family for being such a positive part of my life and workplace.
I will have the family in my thoughts and prayers. I know that she will be missed.
Our heartfelt sympathies to all.
