She leaves to mourn her passing her brothers, Joseph, Victor and Stanley, and the love of her life Reg Cassie. She was predeceased by her parents, Benjamin and Jennie Kominowski; sister Mary, and brothers, Edward, Walter and John. Bernice worked as a medical receptionist for Dr. Samuel Bellan for 40 years. During that time she, of course, made many lasting friendships, among them Barb, Debbie, Michelle and Olive. She loved animals, her favourite was Caesar. She loved her time with Reg doing their flower garden every spring. She always found personal time for patients, either visiting or keeping in touch by phone. Bernice struggled in her last ten years, battling cancer, but never gave up, keeping a positive attitude until it overtook her. She will be missed.

I am the niece in which Aunt Bernice took in, alongside my sister, after the death of my father (and my mother's death before him). We lived with her and my father's other brother, Uncle Stan. It was a difficult time since I don't think I truly got over the loss of my father until I was able to understand the losses we suffer along what tends to be the darker times we suffer from along our paths we take along our lives. I know there were hurt feelings between us, but within the last few years of Aunt Bernice's life, I had to make her realize that the pain I was suffering when my Dad died had nothing to do with her and that I did indeed thank her for the part she played in my life. I was thankful for everything she did with positive efforts the rest. I'll chalk it up to misunderstandings because in the past, none of us have all of the information to judge it correctly. Love you and may you have the peace that cancer was slowly stealing away. Rest well. - Posted by: Tracey Kominowski-Leclerc (niece) on: Apr 23, 2014
