I’m sorry to hear about the passing of my friend and colleague! We worked together at the city of Torrance Parks and Recreation. I will always remember your kindness and wonderful smile! RIP my friend!!!

Sometimes I blame myself because of what happened. Sometimes I wish I could have made you more proud. It is never easy losing a parent. Whenever a friend says something rude about their mom or dad I always say never take advantage of time you have with them because I know I did. You weren’t always there but you never stopped trying. Rest in peace Bardette Gonzales    06/8/74   04/16/22 

I just heard of Bardette’s passing and I wanted to send my deep felt condolences to her Mother and children. I had the pleasure of spending some good times with her. I especially remember taking her to her first ultrasound with Christopher and how happy she was. I also know how much she truly loved her brother. 
I am so sorry for your loss.

I remember the day Bardette was born and what a beautiful baby she was! She was a first....child, grandchild, great grandchild and a few more firsts. As she grew older, her bubbly personality emerged which served her well when she became a varsity cheerleader at THS. She was always sweet, never snobbish, and happy for the accomplishments and material things of others. I know her mother (my niece) and Bardette's children are grieving. My sympathy to Carol, Mike, Eric, Joey, and Christopher.

I met Bardette in 1980, we rode horses at the same stable. We had our group that spent days after school and many summers making memories that can never be replaced. Her family are in my thoughts and I’m glad I can call her a friend.

You gave me millions of good memories during an important part of my life. I remember everything, all of it. Every season, every holiday has a little wink to you. Thank you for being a safe space and treating me like a sister. I will always remember you and your brother and your wonderful grandparents. How fun it was to be a part of your family through friendship. Your Auntie was even nextdoor so there were cousins, too! I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I pray that the memories of you last lifetimes. Rest in Power, girl. 

Your heart was bigger than most, and you loved with everything you had. Your children were your greatest accomplishment, and you were so proud of them.   You were an unlikely angel when I left the desert. You made sure we made it to safety. That changed my life forever and I have never looked back.  You will be forever in our hearts honey. Love you 

We had a lot of great times and fun driving around in her car. She will be missed.
