    Bernadette was a special person, always happy, laughing and full of mischief, which is why we and everyone that knew her, loved her. She will be sorely missed by us all but you more than anyone. We hope that the many fun memories you will have of Bernadette will help you in the coming days weeks and months. The world is a poorer place without Bernadette in it.

    Love from Kevin, Lisa, Dan, Tom, Katie, Bryher and Lewis

  9. Fraser and Ruairi but also the rest of Bernadette’s family,
    It was a privilege to have had Bernadette – Minxy – in my life, a lovely, lovely, wonderfully funny and caring lady. She’s still with me and is still with you, so keep talking to her – she doesn’t want to be cut off, she’s looking on, wherever she is. Make her laugh, make her smile – she did that for all of us.
    Sending you both a big hug,
    love Gerry

  10. Dear Fraser and Ruairi, Thinking of you both so much. Bernadette was the most lovely person and you both mean’t the world to her. I am still reeling from the sadness and suddeness of her having gone but she will always be with us in our memories – always good fun and warm. She has been a brilliant role model through this illness with so much courage and bravery – she has given me lots of strength. Lots and lots of Love Liz – and James and families xxxx
