My condolences to Bernadette's family on her passing. Bernadette was one of the first people I met (in an exercise class in Heritage Village) in 1994 and with her wonderful and fun personality we became good friends. I will remember her in my prayers.

I am so deeply sad to hear about the passing of Bernadette. I had no idea she had been ill. She was one of my favorite people, and had become a real friend. She raised a beautiful family, and I know she was so proud of each and every one. Always so kind to stop by and visit with my mother every summer, I will miss her dearly. She will be missed by many, but her great spirit and warm smile will live in our hearts. Thinking of all of her family at this time. I know my mother would share these sentiments, so on behalf of her as well, we send our love to you all. Andrea and Rita

Bernadette was a great lady, always looking to help in any way. She drove me to several of my radiation treatments back in 2007 and I will always cherish those special "one on one" Moments..She was my first and ONLY "Bernadette" friend...I will miss her dearly.
