My heart goes out to the Tasca family. Bernice was so loved by all that had the pleasure of knowing her. I came into this warm and loving family in 1968 when Gord and I married. Bernice & Joe are our daughter’s loving Godparents. We all shared so many awesome times together. The fond memories will keep her alive in my heart forever.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Joe and the Family.

Joe,& family
I am writing this after the funeral today. As I spoke with so many people today, so many memories came flooding back to me. I remember Hanging out at the farm as kids , we always found something to do . And you can bet we were all called in for lunch ! The first thing Joe said to me was how he remembered that I snagged Christine with a fishing hook at the cottage, after being told not to! She actually went to the hospital to have it removed .
So many great memories
I want to say to the family , the service today was done so well and really captured who Bearnice was. The speeches by the family and the Dr. Was quite an amazing tribute.
Rest now Bernice, you’ve done a wonderful job with raising your family!❤️
Jim and Heidi Sant
Our deepest condolences to all the family.
Margaret (Judy) Raggett
