Kyvonne Atwood wrote a sympathy message

“Miss Bernadette had a profound effect on my life as a young dancer. Miss Bernadette did not just teach ballet, she taught dance etiquette as well. I owe much of my dance career in teaching and performance to her. She was truly a Godsend for me as I am certain she was to other dancers. She has left behind a great legacy that I hope will continue for years. Rest in peace Miss Bernadette, although I imagine that you are dancing in heaven. May peace be with you. All my love, Dr. Kym Atwood, Ed.D.”
