for Bernadine McPolin
May 10, 2015
For 27 years we have been privileged to call her our friend. She's been our nurse, our confidant and a role model. She is loved by so many, and now she joins her husband, John, and so many family members and friends. With love, we say goodbye to an outstanding woman, our neighbor and friend, Bernadine McPolin. You will be missed and always loved. Thank you for being in our lives. It has, indeed, been a privilege. The Craven family.

The memory of Bernadine will always exist for me as a beacon of love, kindness, and genuine beauty. Over the past 20 years I was always greeted by a beautiful smile and that never unwavering wit and energy that is synonymous with who she was. My love and support are with her family in this time of sorrow. Your mom and friend of the family will be greatly missed.
Love

Bern was a dear lady, very much loved by the Harvey family. She had a great sense of humor and always made us laugh. She cared deeply for her family and friends. We were honored to know and love her. She will be missed. She definitely was one of a kind!
With deepest sympathy,
Kate Harvey (daughter of Pat and Bill Harvey, lifelong friends of the McPolins)

A true role model as a wife, mother, woman, neighbor, friend, etc. A fantastic personality and a warm heart. Her beauty on the outside reflected the beauty on the inside. She was a truly elegant and gutsy old broad all at once. RIP my dear friend.
Love,
