Bernadette was such an incredible woman. She will always be remembered as a leader. She gave so much time and effort to our Retired Teachers Organization and was a rock for the group. She is missed.

Aunt Bernie oh how I've thought of you for many years, You were the only one there for me when I needed help. You have been there since the day I was born and if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't be where I am right now. Dylan(my son) he would have loved you and I know you would have loved him. He was born the day before your birthday and I tell people he is yours and grandma's gift to me! God I wish I would have been more in touch and I'm so regretting it now, I'm truly sorry but I never stopped thinking of you. I hope you finally got to meet the man you lived your life by I'm sure he is very proud of you, I know I am. You lived a long beautiful life I just wish I could have been there these past few years oh how I miss our little adventures to the dinners and looking through the phone books for cupons to the burger joint next to that water park, I still have that pea coat you bought me a couple years ago and I'llnever get rid of it. Aunt Bernie i will always love and miss you. I cannot wait to see you and be with you again. Rest in peace Aunt Bernie you will truly be missed by a lot of people.

Rest in paradise Aunt Bernie! I'm so thankful that when I moved back home to help my mama sell her house that we were able to finally bond after all these years. Asking me if I wanted your angel collection meant so much to me, I cherish them all. Loved & missed always!!

Bernadette has been a family friend for over 60 years. She had a wonderful sense of humor and ready laugh. She was so proud of her family. A true and faithful friend. I will miss her dearly. Love and prayers for Bernie and all that have been touched by her life.

She was a wonderful teacher that I had as a seventh grader at Corpus Christi. She will be missed the students and her fellow teacher colleagues.

Some of us (probably most) from OLPH remember how much she liked St Patrick's Day. Sorry she missed the last one! RIP Miss Lally. Prayers to the family.
