Bernie,
It's been seven years and I still think of you every time I go to the beach and pass your house. I go and sit on your bench and think of all the wonderful times we had together.
I miss you,

Feels like I lost a sister,new her at a young age and feel very sorry for her passing.
December 11, 2017
I am not sure anyone in her family will see this anymore, but I just wanted to write and tell her survivors how saddened I was to learn that Bernadette passed 6 years ago. We were friends from Marymount College and she was a bridesmaid of mine years ago at my wedding. I am very sorry for her passing and illness. She was such a wonderful, happy, fun, and great friend in college and for many years afterwards. WE lost contact years ago after I moved abroad for several years.
I ran into another old friend from Marymount today in church that told me that Bernadette had passed and how ill she had been.
I am very sorry for all the hardships that Bernadette endured.
Please accept my very belated sympathy message. I am not sure any of you will remember me, but I remember you and your parents from Bernadette's wedding many years ago.
May she rest in peace in eternity.

A hero in our midst. That's what I call my friend, Bernadette. After a shocking diagnosis of kidney cancer, my friend raged a furious battle with the enemy. Her mind, body and spirit raged war. She was so courageous that words cannot express my admiration for her. She was brave, strong and always positive and I admire her greatly. I have never met someone so positive every day despite the battles she faced. She was an example of bravery, strength and positive attitude and is my hero. Bless you Bernadette. May you rest peacefully in Heaven with our Lord.

My beautiful friend Bernadette. It has been 5 years today since your passing and I think of you often. Your spirit lives on in so many people whose lives you have touched. You were always such a wonderful friend to me and my family. Your bright smile and optimistic way will always remain in my heart. You have a beautiful spirit that lives on eternally in heaven. Until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hand. Love to you, your friend, Mary

I was saddened to come across Bernie's passing anouncment. I remembered her since the 1970's when she was still at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia. She then was a beautiful young lady and friend. I had a lot of good times with her and will always remember her laugh and smile. I lit a candle at the chapel at Marymount University for her memory.

Bernadette gave me my very first job - and was a warm and wonderfully kind mentor to a young person right out of school. She and her cousin were lovely friends to me during those first few years of working, and our walks from the office to the NJ trains were always filled with the best, high spirited laughter in the world. Always treasured, never forgotten. What a joy to have known Bernadette! xxoo

Bernadette and I dated several years ago when I would visit NYC but distance was a deterrent. However, we remained friends and stayed in touch a couple times a year to check on one another. She was such a beautiful girl inside and out, fun and comfortable to be with, very funny with a ready laugh, generous and, oh, that eternal smile! She carried her disease so casually that you almost didn't know she had such a cross to bare. I was honored that when her beloved father passed she reached out to me for some comfort knowing I had lost both my parents. She told me I helped her and I am greatful for that opportunity to do something for her because she was always doing for others including me. I am desvasted to learn of her passing. She seemed so determined and convinced me she would triumph over it to the point I thought she would lick it or last long enough for a cure to be found. I am so sad and although in reality we didn't spend that much time together, she brightened my life knowing her and I shall be forever grateful for my memories of her and never forget her.
God bless you Bernadette

Saco, Saco you have left us all for a better place..We shall miss your hearty laughter and smiling face. Your enthusiasm for life and the rapid pace of living life as a New York single lady. Your courage in adversity stands out greatly. Non, vous ne regrette rien.

For My Longchamp Wielding Friend
Ahh, to LIVE in New York City,
and work in New York City
AND be single in New York City
you belong
to a rare fraternity of Sisters
who in and out
come together, at the table,
for more, for better, for worse.
Because of this
you are both provider and nourisher –
To yourself and to us
Because of this
the PLAIN and unglamorous
daily courage
take on a gracefulness in the plain
and glamorousness in your spirit.
Long before you were a kidney warrior
you were a NYC warrior. Living,
experiencing, surviving, celebrating
AND we were with you –
as we still are.
Everyday means something more than
THE LAST
As it always has
As you are as you always were
before we knew you with different
struggles
Listening to yourself
And to US
Completely and Presently listening,
connecting in their way and time
To more than just me
I am sure of it
and in the end. What is better than hearing a beloved say “today is a good day”.
We had so many good days that turned into good nights that turned into good YEARS.
and – so here we are –
our commitment to
carrying our reflections with us –
include your most recent journey
BUT ALSO
In totality of
the friend – kind friend
my Longchamp wielding friend
that you have always been.

Bernadette was my patient and friend for 13 years. I miss her and I can hear her laugh. We got through the chemo ok but despite her diagnosis I never expected this. the last time I saw her (four days before her death) I asked her about her feelings about death and she was ok with it - she had made peace with her death, with her strong faith. I love and miss her. My sincere condolences to her family through this time. - Dr. Johanna Youner

Dear Bernadette:
Here are my thoughts through my heart to your spirit in Heaven.
I have been searching for you all these years and couldn't find you. I never read the Obituaries and yet today I did, only to have my heart drop. We had some exciting times back in the day. No one really knows what kind of bond we shared, and even if I told them, they probably wouldn't care. We had days of laughter that gave us sparkles in our eyes, we were truly happy. There were days of sorrow and dreams of tomorrow and we always tried new ways to be happy. I would have loved nothing more than for you to be my sister-in-law. May you rest in peace. Dear Lord, permit the soul of Bernadette from any painful struggles and difficulties during her travels to your Kingdom. May your spirit guide us in the fruits of love, happiness, forgiveness, and mercy, and may we all share the joys of life through your eyes.
I should have tried harder to find you! Save a place for me in Heaven we have a lot of catching up to do!

I knew Bernadette from monthly professional meetings. She was always kind, warm, welcoming, and gracious. She seemed to light up the room with her lovely personality. Bernadette, I've been praying for you and hope you will also pray for those of us who will never forget you.
With deepest sympathy to her family and friends,

Bernadette was a remarkable woman. She had an amazing faith that gave her the courage and the strength to handle her cancer with dignity and even humor. If you asked her how she felt her response was always okay. She never felt sorry for herself and always tried to make everyone else feel that it was okay. I know heaven is smiling right now having one of their "Finests" there. She will always shine in our hearts and will be an inspiration to all her Hughes Hubbard friends! I will miss her always, Louise -

Bernadette was my manager at Hughes Hubbard, but she was also a dear friend. I remember the 1st Christmas after my mother passed after her battle with cancer, Bernadette gave me a beautiful, small angel ornament, saying, "I don't know what you believe, but I believe she is always watching over you." I will always remember her angelic spirit of kindness and strength.

I am so sorry to hear of Bernadette's untimely passing. Bernadette was a cousin to my best friend in high school and college, so I knew her from when she was younger. Although I have not seen her in years, I remember her as a beautiful girl with a wonderful smile and lots of fun! My deepest sympathy to the Saco family.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Bernadette was my manager at Hughes Hubbard & Reed. And although I've only known Bernadette for 4 years, she has been a true inspiration. Her courage, will and encouraging words have kept my hopes for my sister, in a similar situation, very much alive. I will miss you, Bernadette.
