She was such a beautiful person on the inside and out. Bernadine always care for others. I always loved her accents. She was definitely one of my favorite Neighbors. She brought a sunshine to the neighborhood.

...... I had no idea this happened. when She first came to the united states she moved in with her brother. She was sweet and kind then Hank moved and her along with him. I saw her one more time and a job I was working either at cvs or hollywood video. she didn't remember me until I reminded her my fondest memory is her and I kicking a ball on my back porch because our backyards where connected. wouldnsomeone please inform.me.hownshe passed away this was shocking to find out 2 years later

in honor of Bernardine.

Hi tannie Sarie /Sue en famielie my innige simpatie met die verlies.
Mag God jul krag en sterkte gee hierdeur. Ek onthou Berni as jong dogtertjie wat agter ouma se banke gespeel en gegiggel het. En nou is haar stem stil.
Ek glo dat sy volheid geleef het..

I want all of those who really cared about Bernardine to know that, Dr T who treated our family and who had interesting conversations with Bernardine, want to honor her legacy in a very unique way. I know she would have been overwholmed by this tribute, just as we were. Dr T is a world renowned, please read his Bio online to see his remarkable work.

Email from Dr T :

Dear Sue,
I wish to give Bernardine the honor of naming a part of the Ecopolitan Community of South Florida after her. When we have our first event, I will dedicate the amphitheater to her beloved memory - you will have an opportunity to talk about her and her love of Nature and plants. Bernardine's natural amphitheater will carry on her legacy when it hosts lectures and presentations about health, sustainability, and better choices for a cleaner life. I hope you approve, or if you have better ideas please let me know.
Yours, Dr. Adiel Tel-Oren

I met Bernadine while she was working at YSC. She was always so pleasant, so nice and always had a smile on her face. I was very saddened to here the news today. My deepest condolences go out to her family, especially Sue. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Sam, AA

Berni, I know how much it hurt you when Dad passed away and that you wanted more than anything to be able to be at his funeral. You were the apple of Dad's eye and he spoke of you often, he wanted more than anything to come and visit you. I'm so grateful that Nadine and I finally got that opportunity just over a year and a half ago and those memories I will treasure forever. When we met again it was like no time had passed, we hit it off straight away. We had so much fun the first evening at Aladdin's Mediterranean Grill that we completely forgot to take even one photo! Well we sure made up for that the next evening and looking back at those pictures you can see the resemblance of Dad in us. It was so funny hearing you say, "Hallo daar" and "Ja, Nee", your Mom made sure you were staying true to your roots:) We were definitely planning another trip out there in the future and to bring Michaela and Caitlyn with to meet their Aunt who they had heard so much about. In a cruel turn of events I now find myself wanting to be there for your memorial to say one last goodbye and let you know how much we loved you. Time and distance just doesn't allow for it. I am so sad that we won't get to see each other again but I will always hold you close to my heart. I may not be there in person today but please know that I am there in thought and in prayer.

Sue, it was so lovely to see you again after so many years and thanks you you and Lee for offering us a place to stay if we were to come out there again. I know your heart is torn to pieces, I wish I had the right words to comfort you. If we make out way out there again, we will definitely come and visit.

All my love, Shane.

It feels like just the other day, we were helping Dad in the garage, Berni, I was always amazed at how smart you were, you knew what tool was what and you’re knowledge on fishing was also astounding. I remember sharing hamburgers and how you were upset you couldn’t go fishing with the boys when Dad, Shane and I went fishing. I remember how I watched in amazement at how you built puzzles so quickly and how you started to build them from the middle outwards. Your musical talent and gift that warmed the room and atmosphere when you were there.
I have many good memories, and lots of photos still, I’ll miss your radiant smile.

My condolences To Sue and the family. I am sorry I won’t be able to make it to the memorial service...
I pray for strength and comfort during this time...
Much love Lloyd And Family...

Shane and Lloyd Peterson are Bernardine's brothers on her Dad's side and she especially loved Shane and Nadine whom she got to know over time and shared her life with them. I am sorry that I forgot to mention you and your children in the Obituary for Bernardine. Please forgive me and know that you touched her life in a special way, and we honor that. Sue
