So sorry to hear of Bernie’s passing. A wonderfully warm personality. Who will be missed by many in Westport and Castlebar and over a very wide geographical area.
I got to know Ber as her wheelchair accessible driver, over the last few years we had many a conversation and spent time going from place to place. I will miss her warm character and such wonderful chats from time to time. Her will always warmly remembered by the close nit community in Carrabawn and her loss will be felt throughout the wider Westport community.
My sympathies to John, Ann, Carmel, Claire and Sheila. Also to her relatives friends and those that knew her. May she rest comfortably.
