Bernie deeply loved her husband Joe and her family. Along with her sister Rose Marie, she reveled in creating many memorable and entertaining family events. Her wit and humor put smiles on the faces of many family members and friends over the years.

For Bernie, life couldn't get any better than sharing a "Meghattan" with her family and laughing at the events of the day. Special thanks for the wonderful care provided by Dr. C.
