Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
There is great rejoicing in heaven with all the sisters and Mom and Dad Reibenspies. Prayers and blessings to Karen, Bill and JoAnn, and children. Love all of you so much!
Karen: If you are my old friend from All Saints, you have been in my thoughts over the past few years…wondering how & where you were. I was sorry to read about your mother. I have many fond memories of coming to your house to play when we were in grade school. I’m sorry I lost track of you. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Dear Bill, JoAnne, Jordan, Miranda, Spencer and Josh and Karen- We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved Grandmother/Mother Bean. Our sympanthies are with your family and hope that comfort is with you all to know that she is at peace with God. With Love to you all.
I knew Bernice when we were both in the Women in Construction organization (now NAWIC)and that was some time ago. She was always happy and a sweet lady. I have good memories.
Dear Karen and Bill, I am so sorry for your loss but happy for the eternal rest that Bernice(my Aunt) so dearly deserves. I can’t tell you the number of times that my Mom (Millye) told us of her generousity. I am grateful to her for what a wonderful sister she was to Mom. I will keep you in prayer. God bless.

Was saddened to see Bernice’s obituary in the paper today. I live in Clifton Place and count her a good friend. She and I went to buy microwave ovens one day and had a lovely time. I enjoyed visiting with her in the laundry room and at the meetings we had. She was a friend who enriched my life.
Karen and Bill, So sorry to hear about Aunt Bean. I have so many fond memories of her her visits to my grandmother, Edna Robbins. The sisters were so devoted to one another; now they are together again. Julie Robbins Dresser
