George,
Hope you're getting some closure somehow on the loss of your dear wife. We all miss her.  I still hear her voice as we prayed over the phone on one of her sick days. Please continue to look for a way to  deal with this loss. I remember you and your kids when I celebrate mass for divine consolation. Cheer up and may God be with you. Dine rests in peace in Jesus.

I hope your husband, Da George and children, Ihu, Chinny and Ossy find comfort in these words by Leo Buscaglia

Da Bernadine, only God knows why at this time and in this circumstance. Wish the clock can go back! Aunty, may you rest in the bossom of our Lord. To your lovely family you left behind, we feel their pain. May our good Lord bring nothing but healing and consolation at this moment, in Jesus name, Amen. Adieu aunty! Adieu mama! Love and miss you.

The value of life is in it's donation and not duration. From her youth, Bernadine shone like bright light. I will never forget that gentle sparkle.   
May God almighty grant the entire Mbata and Ugochukwu families the strength to bear her passing with fortitude. May her soul rest in peace.

It was a pleasure to work with kind lady at Davita. Always giving encouraging words. You will be missed

To the Mbata family, I express my deepest sympathy.  Bernadine was a very special person, always ready to help when needed.  I thoroughly enjoyed working with her for a number of years at Coliseum Hospital.  Not only has the Macon Medical Community lost an angel, I have lost a great neighbor.  May you rest in peace my friend.
