Jul 3, 2025I was the luckiest girl in the world to not only have Aunt Bern as my Aunt but also my Godmother. She was always there for every birthday, graduation, wedding and any event that was about family. I looked up to her, learning so much from her. Her confidence and love of fun, seeing the humour in everything. The name “ Aunt Bern” meant someone so very special, and always loved. I am thinking of you all but know that she will always be close to all of us. XO! Julie💕

Jul 3, 2025I was saddened to see the news of your mother's passing. Your Mom was a very dear friend of my parents Vivian and Ernest Lalonde.. When Mom relocated from Ottawa to The Georgian Village, Bern and Celine would drop in for visits that were full of laughter. Those visits meant the world to Mom and I just want to say thank you. I will always remember :Bern: as a loving and kind soul. My deepest sympathies / Lucille
