Our condolences to the entire family. Bernadette was an Angel in the eyes of those who knew her. To this day, I remember Bernadette putting together a bag of candy for my daughters. This was 20 years ago. My girls to this day still talk about the wonderful candy offerings Bernadette sent over. It was not only candy she sent, it was her love.

December 13, 2015

Very sorry for your loss. Our love and prayers for the Zito family

She will be sorely missed by many of us. Bern had a heart with no limit. She would do a favor for anyone. Prayed for anyone who was sick, never forgot special occasions and her door was always open to her friends. She maintained tradition, but looked forward to the future. I miss the hours that we would sit in the store and just talk about everything and anything. She was a good person and a good friend. Rest in peace, Bern. I will miss you, but struggle is over.
