Bernie I will never forget the years we spent in our adjoining offices with you shouting 'Mrs Russell' whenever you wanted anything. Such great times. I will miss you dearly my lovely friend. God bless you and John.

You will be missed by many. A wonderful lady, a lovely person who employed me at St. Jude’s of which I am so grateful. Rest in Peace Bernie. You are now reunited with your lovely husband John forever x

I will always fondly remember you Bernie for many things but above all: your infectious sense of humour- you were so much fun to be with; your commitment, wisdom and passion for education - you would often say you were keen to return to school after the summer holidays as your role as Headteacher defined you; but most importantly your wonderful marriage with John. You were one of a kind Bernie and we will miss you. God bless. Lisa, Rob, Callum, Alice, Kian and Ruairi xxxx

So many great times shared. It was a privilege to call you my friend Bernie. X
