Bernadette Celeste Hayes

Sending love to all the family, remembering what a great woman Bernadette was. Her smile lit up the room. And, her laugh --- you couldn't help but laugh right along with her. Most striking? That little glint in her eye....

My guardian angel, ever looking out for us! Remembering you always and forever!

Sweet Bernadette, it is hard to believe it's already been 2 years since you left this earth. I bet that you and your Dad have been making beautiful music together up in Heaven. I miss your dimples and your infectious laugh!! I love you, friend!

May you Rest In Peace Bernadette. You will be missed by all, even by those who have never met you.

There is no one like you, and never will there be, a soul like yours, Bernadette. Your soul knew depths most do not fathom, you could reach and touch people's hearts like no one else. All who knew you were graced by your presence in their lives. Your passing is our loss, and heaven's gain. May you rest in peace. Love always,

Dear Hayes family,
I'm so sorry for your loss of beautiful Bernadette.
I'm praying for her and you all during this sad time.
May God bless you all so much!

I'm so sorry for your loss! She sounds like a wonderful daughter, sister & friend! My prayers are with the family at this time.

Rest In Peace, Bernadette! Prayers and sympathy to all her family!

I can't stop thinking of you, dear Bernadette! What different journeys we all have taken, and am grateful for recently touching base with you again! Fun, laughter and genuine integrity have always radiated from you. Be sure to say a prayer for us all! You will be missed, rest in the enjoyment of God!

I was truly blessed to have been befriended by Bernadette back in the 70's. She made me laugh, taught me to pray and gave me strength during that difficult summer in my life. My deepest, deepest condolences to all of the family, may God comfort you all during this very difficult time. Eternal rest grant onto her o' lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

Beautiful lady, beautiful soul may you rest in peace! Thank you for your laughter, your talent of music and your friendship. You will be missed! Love, Mary Vopalensky

Our paths crossed years ago but I have never forgotten those dimples, that catchy laugh, her sweet spirit, her love of music. She was a gift from God. I feel blessed to have shared laughs with her and knelt next to her in prayer. Im sure she's singing with the angels now.

Oh, sweet friend, I haven't stopped thinking about you. Mowing the lawn, I think of you. Falling asleep, I think of you, and pray for you. And, I talk to you. Can you hear me? I know you can. You fought the good fight. You kept the faith. You made God's children happy, and now - your reward is great. I will love you forever. I will like you for always. As long as I'm living, my friend you will be. Thanks for the memories.

You had a profound impact on me,and I am eternally grateful for that. Thankyou to the Hayes Family for raising such an eloquent soul,Patriot and wonderful person. Freedom rings in Heaven.

You have touched the lives of so many people! You will be missed! Be free and dance with the Angels

Bernadette, my soul-friend for a quarter of a century. I am utterly grateful to you for all that you brought to my life with no strings attached. What really inspired me most about you was your unequivocal commitment to friendship with Jesus through Mary, His Mother and yours.
You kept this Sacred Devotion till your last breath. I am a witness to this. Although I miss you greatly I rejoice in the realization that you are with them both, now and forever.

Our hearts and lives intertwined in life and now our spirits commune. I thank you so for the friendship and so miss you! I will always be grateful to your spirit and love.

Rest in peace Bernadette!

Rest in peace at last, sweet Bernadette. And may your peace reach all of those who need it now. With you in spirit, Nancy

Love you still, Bernadette. Am thinking of the song lyrics about Mary, Star of the Sea and how " She will be there to meet you on the landing". How beautiful is She, Bernadette? You know now. Donna Lee Swanson, Mary Immaculate Queen High School, Class of 1981

In loving memory of a wonderful human being. I will miss our "chats", but now I know you are flying with the angels free of pain. Rest In Peace, dearest Bernadette.

God always takes the best!

I love you sis, always and forever! Forever in my heart!

Run free my dear sister! You are forever in my heart!
