I went to middle and high school with Bernadette. I knew her as Buffy back then. We worked as partners on a report for English. She was such a nice person! I’m so sad to hear about her passing. She was way too young. Heaven gained an Angel! Prayers to her Family in this very difficult time.

We are saddened by the passing of Bernadette and will remember her always as a loving niece. May God bless her family at this most grief-filled time and grant them peace and comfort. Time will allow all of us to focus on our loving memories with Bernadette. One of our fondest memories was sitting
with her, John, and her children making s'mores and laughing around the fitepit in Edinboro. Bernadette loved being in Edinboro for her birthday week in August. We'll never forget taking...

This was my favorite trip with my mom, her Isaiah and I all went to New York for a week or something like that and we just spent time together. She was beyond excited to go and had such a great time with us. I will definitely miss doing trips like this wi
