Bernadine, I can still recall your ever so cheerful voice When you spoke to us all, from Portugal, Where you visited Our Lady of Fatima, and informed us that you lit a candle and prayed for us all. You are my source of inspiration and Your spiritual, kind, caring and loving ways Will always be remembered and cherished forever. I admired you for all of these qualities Which reminds me so much, of our Dear Mama. Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, But rather openings, where our loved ones Shine down to let us know they are happy. Rest in peace, dear cousin.
