I’m so very sorry for your loss.  I worked with Bernadette for over 20 years at the MNR.  She was kind,  thoughtful and compassionate.  Such a loss.

John and family, my deepest condolences., my thoughts are with you all.
Sincerely 
Bill Pitts

I was blessed to know and be friends with Bernadette during our years of working together at the MNRF. Bernie could always be counted on for a laugh, good conversation and great advice. I have missed working with her these last couple of years, and I am terribly saddened to hear this news. To Bernadette's family and friends, I am so sorry for your profound loss. Bernadette was an amazing person, we will all miss her.  - Jason Gartshore

What an unspeakable loss. Bernie always made me feel comfortable in a room full of people, she always had a twinkle in her eye and a smile that could light up a room.  I loved talking to her, sharing stories about life. She was so kind and welcoming in her spirit. My sincerest heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. One of the good ones gone way too soon. Debbie Thibault

Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.  Barbara Mahood (Doug and Andrew)

Sending condolences to Bernadettes family. Met Bernadette through the gym and we were together for years. She was an amazing woman and will be greatly missed. 

We at Central  Die want to send our sincere condolences to Gen and the entire family. We are sending strength, love and healing during this time of sorrow. 

We are so sorry to hear about Bernadette’s passing and we are sending love and healing thoughts to John, Jake and Danielle.  Love Bruce, Karen, Callum and Neil Parkinson

John, Jake and Dani ~ there are no words.  Bernadette was a kind and loving soul.  Sending you love and peace.

Sincerest condolences to John, Jake, Danielle and the entire family.  
Bernadette always had a smile when we chatted at work or in the neighborhood during our walks.  Most times, after making sure Bailey got some attention, conversations turned to family.  She was so proud of Jake and Dani and was always quick to give us an update.  
It still seems unreal, Diane and I will truly miss her...

Our thoughts are with John and family with the loss of a true Angel in Bernadette. You lit up the lives of those you greeted with your huge warm smile and amazing sense of fun and adventure. Gone but never forgotten. Clem & Janice Garvey

I worked with Bernadette for many years. I will always  remember her smile and positive outlook. My deepest condolences to all her family and friends.

John, Danielle and Jake, I am shocked, and so sorry to hear of your terrible loss. 

Bernadette was such a lovely person. Always so full
of energy, and so much fun to be with. Her infectious smile, wonderful sense of humour and unforgettable laugh, always lit up a room and will always be with us. I will always hold in a special place, all of the  good times at soccer games, dance classes, frigid Santa Clause parades, school functions, birthday parties and of course, the annual Campbell Christmas Party. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May she rest in ever lasting peace.

Many great memories of JF events.  Long chats during the car/ truck rides or on the couch after the events.  Watching Star Trek when we were in college.....
Sending thoughts and prayers to the family.

So very sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful person.  I knew Bernadette from all the fun we had in our Junior Farmer days. Our thoughts go out to all her family during this sad time. Cherish the memories and love you had with her in your lives.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Bernadette passing. We worked together when I first came to MNR in the information and privacy unit. We hit it off right away and continued to keep company and our struggles with fitness!  She was a lovely person and I am sending my condolences to her family. Rest in peace my friend.

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Growing up, I had the privilege of spending countless Junior Farmer weekends with Bernadette, Genevieve and Jim. Those times were so special- we had a ton of laughs and lots of great talks. Years go by and we lost touch but I will always remember how much I enjoyed being with the O’Neill family (Roseann Peeters was also part of that crew) and Bernadette’s constant kindness. Sending my prayers and deepest condolences to you all.

Angie (Bailey) Paisley

I am so saddened by the news of Bernadette's passing. I worked with her at MNR for 11 years. We hit it off immediately when she first joined the unit and our friendship blossomed from there. I will always cherish our time together whether it was solving all the FIPPA problems or just plain goofing around and having fun. My heart goes out to her family. Rest in peace Bernadette. The world has lost a truly beautiful soul.

Our thoughts and prayers to the O'Neill and Campbell families during this time.
  Growing up, Bernadette was my unofficial little sister. Many fond memories of going to Jr. Farmer events, "4 wheeling" in a chevette crammed with 8 people, travelling all over Ontario for square dancing, a regular dance or a really good party and ending our day with a full bacon and egg breakfast at 2 in the morning...
Lots of love - John and Roseanne Inglis (Peeters)

So sorry to hear of Bernadette's passing.  She was such a lovely co-worker. My sincerest condolences to her family.

To John, Danielle, Jake and the extended family.  We are so saddened to hear of Bern's passing.  We have the fondest memories of her from our time in Ontario when we joined in some of those extended family gatherings.  Thinking back it's hard to remember her doing anything other than laughing or smiling.  You are in our thoughts, and you have our deepest sympathies. 
-Tipper and Alix McEwan

My sincere condolences to Bernadette's family.  
My thoughts and prayers are with her and you during this difficult time.

John, Jake and Danielle;  I worked with Bernadette at the MNRF for many years. I am so sorry for your loss. She was an amazing person and I will miss her and her smile forever. Years ago she had me a “flip flop” cake!  Thinking of you all and sending strength and prayers. Cherish the wonderful memories. 

Sorry to read this I attended school with Bernadette always a joyful friendly person. Such a loss to her family.

Dear John, Jake & Danielle
We are so saddened and shocked to hear of Bernadette’s passing. What a wonderful person she was, just a delight to be around, always smiling. What a loss for you all! Unfortunately I will be away for her services. I really wish I could have be there. Hugs to all of you. Take Care
