Dearest sister Bernadette, so very hard to accept the 5 year mark of your passing. I miss your special laugh, great advice, generous heart, and sharing our special memories growing up. I had so looked forward to growing old together and seeing one another often with our grandchildren. Adriana is doing quite well for herself and you would be very proud to know she has followed your wonderful example of career advancement by seeking out opportunities to achieve this. Rick speaks of you often and is so glad he was able to share those precious weeks with you while you were here helping me with his care. I love you and miss you so very much. Until we meet again in heavenly joy, you are always in my thoughts and prayers!
Love ~ Your Sister, Denise

My Dearest Bernadette Marie,
I miss you every day, along with all of our family who left us before you were called home. I hope and pray your reunion with your son, Junior was as wonderful and beautiful as I imagined. Know that you are so missed and loved after 4 years without you, it seems like yesterday. Hard to wrap my head and heart around you not being here with us ( sigh), I´ve been seeing a lot of white butterflies recently and I know God sent them for me to let me know you are all where you should be, with Him. All my love with warm and loving thoughts of you my sister. Let my boys, Cheri, Mom and Dad and so many others up there how much they too are missed and thought of daily, I love you my dear beloved sister

Dear Family, I'm sorry you have lost another beautiful and loving person from your family.
Bernie, you were a sweet loving lady here on earth. You will continue to glow in heaven as
a angel. I'm sure someone like you already has
her wings. You sure have earned them before your
time.
You started with God and ended with God you will be one of his special angels.
Love to you and your family.

Bernie, you will truly be missed. I will always remember you as one of the strongest women in my life. You were an amazing role model. Thank you for putting up with us teenagers in your house all the time back in the 80's. Life is a trip. Adrianna was my childhood best friend now my sister Tonya's sister-in-law, so we are more like family now. Your entire family has always been special to me. You & Junior will never be forgotten.
