Sorry it took me so long to write Aunt B, couldn't bring myself to do this without breaking down. I get my emotions from my dad, your brother Buddy.
I bet you two, along with Snooter and Doug are having the best of times.
Please have a talk with the Lord and tell him enough rain already!! I will be forever grateful for the kindness you showed my mom by calling her every Sunday night. She so looked forward to those.
Rest in Peace Aunt B!! Love, Martha (Brown) Schelitzche

I got to see your mom and dad last fall.
Always had great memories of my godparents. Glad my wife and I got to spend some time together with them both. They will be missed.

With a very heavy heart I say to my dear godmother "Until we meet again". Family has always meant so much to you and you have meant so much to us - you always gave such love (and never shy with the advice) that enriched our lives. I miss you, Aunt Bernadette.
Paul, know we are thinking of you and hope you find peace in knowing your mom is with my mom and Uncle Buddy again - so you know there is laughter going on!
Rest in Peace, Aunt Bernadette.
Love You
Linda and Kevin

Rest in peace, Aunt Bernadette. Play among the angels and dance with the stars. And enjoy everlasting laughter as you reunite with my dad, your brother "Buddy."

We are saddened by the loss of our dear Aunt Bernadette. One of the most kind and thoughtful people I have ever met. She never forgot my birthday and always sent a card with a personal message. I will miss those, but always cherish the last one I received just a month ago. The wonderful long life she had of sharing and caring is an inspiration to us all. Cousin Paul, we are thinking of you and send our love and prayers.

I have no words, my mind is blank. Knowing that I just saw you 2 short weeks ago after not seeing you for several years and now you're gone. You will forever live in my heart. You were one of the most kind and thoughtful ladies I've ever come across in my life. I am proud to be your niece and proud to have gotten confirmed with your name. Rest In Peace, sweet Aunt!
We love you!!!
