For once I’m at a loss of words to say to you Fraser .
I know you will be strong. At least on the outside.
Sadness for you as a Family.
Much Love to you Three.

Dear Fraser and Ruairi.
I am more than sad that Bernadette has passed away. I remember her as crazy but kind, a good listener and lively, a loyal friend and very, very funny.
I remember the time you and others were over for a BBQ at my house. We were sitting at a table near my apple tree when apples decided to randomly drop off. Bernadette went into my house and came out wearing a plastic helmet from my boys’ dressing up box.
Thinking of you.
Lots of love and hugs,
Jane, Luke and Adam xx
Minxy. Best fighting woman I ever encountered. The Crane family are all the richer for knowing her. Fond memories of time well spent. Will raise a glass to her and to Fraser and Ruairi.

Dear Fraser and Ruairi I was totally devastated to hear of the sad news about Bernadette and my lasting memory will always be of an energetic lovable girl with an amazingly wicked smile. My thoughts will be with you both and while this world has lost an amazing woman heaven has gained another wonderful human person. With love and all my thoughts Bogger
Fraser and Ruairi, we are so, so sad that Bernadette is no longer here. She filled the room with sunshine and happiness every time she walked in. I can honestly say that every memory I have of her, from my early twenties to now, is one of warmth, love, laughter and fun. Bernadette could be such a clown and so zany yet she had such an empathy, understanding and wise head on her shoulders too. It seems impossible that she is no longer here but her legacy is enormous and her love for you will sustain you now and in the future. She was the brightest light.
We all send you our love and we are with you across the miles.
Karen, Steve, Louise, Lucy, Laura, Oli, Ben and Sam.

Dear Fraser and Ruairi….We were so sorry to hear the sad news about your lovely Bernadette….She was the most outrageous,lovable and adorable person one could ever meet and would light up a room with her personality and smile. Which will always be in my memories..
Dear Fraser and Ruairi, I am so sorry to hear of your sad loss. Bernadette was a lovely lady with a fabulous sense of humour. My thoughts age with you.
