To the Scully family, I was saddened to hear of your loss. I worked with "Bernie" many years ago on Perry 4 at Bridgeport hospital. She was always cheerful and smiling. She shared stories of her children and made us laugh. She also shared her spinach salad with us which has become one of my families favorites for over thiry years. I still have her hand written recipe. She was one of the people in my life that inspired me to pursue nursing. Years later ,I was also one of her Perry 4 patients. She was a caring and compassionate nurse. She eased my anxiety as soon as I saw her smiling face. Her presence made a difference to many lives.

We are very sorry to hear about Bernadette. A very nice woman, who raised great children. The first time we met was at a picnic in your backyard when our kids were really young and she suggested I cut the hot dogs lengthwise so the kids wouldn't choke. It was a good tip! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
