Bernadette was involved in many efforts to help kids before the Wish Closet existed with prizes for Attendance Assemblies and the “travelling clothes giveaway”.
The number of people Bernadette helped over the years will never truly be known as she had many active groups of folks that counted on her.
As difficult as this time is for Claude, Annette and Sage, the world has lost a woman with a big heart, a generous spirit and a quick wit. Without question, Bernadette truly earned her Angel wings.
Thank You, Wish Angels, for this lovely tribute to my mother, Bernadette.
ReplyDeleteShe was so proud to work with and for the community: heading up the Parents Association of Princess Elizabeth School (many years ago), Visited elderly with St.Mary's Parish, Campaigned door-to-door for Heart & Stroke, Worked tirelessly with Grand-Parenting Again Canada, and finding a welcoming community within the Wish Closet.
Bernadette held everyone who participated in the Wish Closet with the highest regard: its visitors with compassion, and its volunteers with pride. She constantly recounted acts of kindness and gratitude, the kind of stories that make you proud she was ours.
Wish Angels, Thank you for ALL your support you gave both Bernadette & all of us. Know that she loved you all dearly, and you will always be a part of our Family.
~Annette
