So sad to hear of Bernadette's passing. She was one of the nicest persons I ever met. Whenever she called or came into the office she always had a kind word to say and a smile on her face even when she wasn't feeling her best. She loved her family. She always told me with pride that I shared the same name as her daughter. In many ways, Bernadette reminded me of my own mother. And I told her that.
May you all find comfort in knowing she is in a better place. Godspeed Bernadette...❤Sincerely,
Colleen Vintzileos
