Bernarda M. Hernandez

Our beloved mother/grandmother Bernarda (Nina) was a selfless woman, a woman of great faith and the matriarch of our family who always placed God and family first. She was a humble, wise, and hard-working woman who loved to be with family, especially during the holidays. She was the embodiment of love. You could feel that love being in the same room with her.
