Hello Murray family,
Hard to believe that Bernie has been gone for 3 years. Im sure she is enjoying herself in Gods hands. I think of her often, especially when I Facebook our Prosperity Height friends because we shared some fun lunches at Bernies favorite spot The Cherokee. Sending love and hugs up above Bernie!
Warmly,
Margo

To the family of Bernadette,
I taught school at Prosperity Heights with Bernie years ago when I was a new teacher. Bernie and several other former staff have met annually off and on, for lunch at the Cherokee, one of Bernies favorite places. Our last gathering was in June.
How sad to hear of her passing...Wish I had known...I had two friends who were at Our Lady of Peace and passed away just a few days prior to Bernie...if I had known she was there I would have stopped by to see her...so sorry I was unable to share in the service to say goodbye...I will miss her...a sweet, kind loving person...she had such a great sense of humor...my prayers will include a special prayer for her...she will always hold a special place in my heart.
One thing I think Bernie would want me to know is...don't be sad..."I will see you later"...rest in peace my friend.
Fondly,
Margo Mann

To the family of Bernadette: I will always keep the memory of Bernadette in my heart and in my prayers. Bernadette was a spiritual mentor and precious friend since I met her in

We are so sorry to hear of Bern' s passing. My mom and Dorothy worked together for many years at St. Joe's hospital. I knew the ladies for most of my life. God bless them and the many people that Bern touched in her caring and teaching. A beautiful soul. Barb Juergens (My Mom was Betty Wright)
