“To Bernadette's six daughters: Your mother was an amazing woman.! She was smart and caring with a wonderful outlook on life .She brightened up every room that she entered. We all looked forward to our weekly bridge game with Bernadette. Hers was a life well-lived, and we were so happy to be part of her "circle" of friends. Fondly, Suzanne & Arthur”
