Help Honor Bernadette and Support Her Family

Grieving the loss of one of my best friends Bernadette, I want to help her husband William and his family raise money to get through this difficult. I am sharing the following letter on his behalf. -Kimberly White:

With a heavy heart I am sharing the loss of my beloved wife of 11 years and best friend of 18 years. A cherished wife, mother of three beautiful daughters, daughter, and friend who left us far too soon.

Bernadette was the heart of our family - her love, kindness, and unwavering strength touched everyone she met. She was a devoted mother to Melodee, Kayla, and Samantha, a loving partner to me, and a true friend to so many. Her absence leaves an unimaginable void in our lives.

We are reaching out for help during this incredibly difficult time. In addition to grieving her loss, we are now faced with unexpected expenses - including cremation, an intimate service for immediate family and a celebration of life that we would love to plan on her birthday, August 5th. My family's household that includes my two youngest daughters, Kayla 17 and Samantha 8 will need ongoing support as we begin to rebuild our lives without their mother.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly towards honoring Bernadette's memory and helping ease the financial burden on our family as we navigate this painful journey.

Your prayers, love, and words of support mean the world to us. Please also consider sharing this campaign to help us reach others who may be willing to help.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us during this time of grief.

With love and gratitude, William and the Figueroa family.
