Bernadette was one of a kind. Compassionate, believed in Angels, caring and a good friend. She and Mario complemented each other.
Truly an Angel among us.
She is missed by all who knew her.

MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I HAVE NOT KNOWN BERNADETTE ALL MY LIFE. THE MOMENT I MET HER I LOVE'D HER IMMEDIATLEY. SHE HAD SO MUCH FAITH, AND THE BEST FRIEND YOU COULD EVER KNOW. SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. I WILL MISS OUR TALKS VERY MUCH. SHE COULD TALK ON ANY SUBJECT AND WAS VERY INTERESTING.SHE CHOSE A WONDERFUL HUSBAND IN MARIO, AND THEY RAISED TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. SHE WAS A VERY CARING PERSON AND SHE REALLY WENT OUT IN THE STYLE SHE WAS ACCUSTOMED TO. SHE LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL AND I KNOW SHE WAS PLEASED WITH HERSELF. SHE HAD A BEAUTIFUL MASS AND IF SHE PLANNED HER REPASE IT WAS WHERE SHE WANTED IT TO BE. THAT IS THE TYPE OF PERSON BERNADETTE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BERNADETTE. ANN AND DOMINICK.
