Nero and his sister Bernice were good individuals who had an good and honest greeting for all that they considered friends. I met Nero and bernice through the Barrett family, who are my life-long friends. Never once did I have a cross word with this brother and sister team. Bernice left this earth too soon and now Nero has gone. May their spirits and souls rest easy with the Lord. God bless the family in this time of mourning.
