I am so very sorry and sad for your loss! I so wish she could have danced a little longer on earth. I went to high school with Bernadette and was friends with her before she went out east to pursue her advanced degree. She will always hold a very special place in my heart and memory. We loved to go out dancing and I’ll cherish her image of her dancing wearing her favourite Fuchsia heels. Dancing with her arms in the air without a care. Rest In Peace dear one
