I remember my aunt Bernadine as a singer in New York. She had a beautiful voice. She sang and traveled with the Fred Waring Orchestra. She was a lovely lady who was very talented and beautiful.

Elizabeth, so sorry to hear about your Mothers passing. My prayers are with you and your family. She was such a sweet lady.
My Mom thought of her as a dear friend.
