My family & I join all family and friends in the sorrow we feel at the passing of Bernadette. Our deep sympathy to you Errol on the loss of your beloved wife, Bernadette; to Eric, Joanne & Erwin & the grandchildren, and Bernadette's siblings & their families, as you mourn your mother, grandmother, and sibling. Bernadette had an entrepreneural personality but I will note one example, many, many years ago when 3 friends embarked on the Real Estate Courses that would launch them as Brokers in Toronto but we were only stopped by the recession of the early 1990's. Bernadette was a very special, sophisticated woman but I also remember her, decades ago, as a humble, helpful friend, who arrived at our family's freshly acquired "fixer-upper" of a home, with bucket & mop, and she stayed until she & others were sure we could settle in comfortably. Bernadette's love of all her family was only second to her love of Almighty God. She led her family & countless friends in earnest prayers when her beloved husband, Errol, was gravely ill. Her husband and their children & her siblings have exhibited strengths during these many years of her illness, they perhaps didn't know they possessed. May the Daw and Waithe family continue to experience the sustaining grace of Jesus. Bernadette has gone to her eternal reward. R.I.P.
Pat & Bing Duggan & family
