Obituary of Bernadette H. Kirby

Bernadette Hannah Kirby passed away at the age of 29. She was the joy, the heart and the glue of her family. While she lived with disabilities, but we knew, as did others that she was aware of everyone who was around her and always gave them a winning smile and laughter. And they fell in as much love with her as we do. She touched people here and around the world during our pilgrimages to countries as our mother worked hopefully to have her healed. Instead, she healed us and the people she encountered. She is now healed in Heaven with our Lord and his Mother. We are blessed that God gave us this time with her. As small as she was, she inspired everyone to hug their children, brothers, sisters and all loved ones. Survived by her mom, Peggy and dad, Lee, and sister Peggy Lee, brothers John and Brian, and numerous family members who love her as much as we do.
