Joida, Tom, and John,

Please accept our condolences at the passing of your mother. You and your families are in my prayers.

Joida, Tom and John:
My condolences on your mother's passing. She was a fantastic and warm-hearted woman. For many years as a teenager, I proudly wore the Westlake Demons sweatshirt she procured for me. I have fond memories of her during the visits to your house on Hawkins. May she finally rest in peace in arms of God.

Joida, Tom, and John I remember your mother when she lived in Scipio. She was the same age as my sister, Jean. I remember going to "Uncle Pete's and Aunt Ida's' house many times. Bernadette's lovely red hair always amazed me. She was a beautiful women. I visited her with my sister, Roberta a couple of years ago. Tom, you were there.
Best wishes to each of you and many happy returns.

Joida, Tom, and John,

Please accept our condolences at the passing of your mother. I have fond memories of our childhood days on Hawkins Road. You have been blessed richly by having had the good fortune of wonderful parents. My dad and mom have fond memories of Bernadette and her friendly and caring manner.

I didn't know Mrs. Makus well, but when I think of her sons -- Tom and John (a lifelong friend) -- I think of quality and caring people, so she must have done more than a few things right! May God grant her peace.

I don't know the person Bernadette was throughout her whole life, all I know is the person I saw daily in the halls where I worked. She would innocently express who she liked with a simple phrase out loud... "I like you... you're nice." to which I would reply, I like you, too... I think you're really nice!" She would always counter with "I am?" It always made me smile. God Bless You, Bernadette... I will always remember you with a smile on your face!
