Woman Dies After 21-Yr Coma Caused by Husband’s Beating
A mother of three children died this week after being in a coma for over two decades. Bernadette Jones went into a coma after being beaten by her drunken husband. Her family kept her alive in the basement of their home in Buffalo, hoping for a miracle.
Patrick Guiteau, the woman’s father, brought the girl home eight months after her attack and kept her on life support for the entire time. Her children even got into bed with their mother. The family’s struggle for healthcare coverage for their daughter showed nothing less than the utmost love for their child.
The woman’s husband was born in Haiti, and the family worked hard to have him deported. They found out that he was in the country illegally, which led to his deportation. Bernadette lived for two decades, dealing with a series of infections and other medical problems until she finally died at the age of 51.
“Her body finally ran out of gas,” said her father.
The woman’s 70-year old father spent everything he had providing for his daughter and didn’t want her institutionalized for any reason.
“We didn’t even have a bathroom down there,” he said. “A friend built one. We weren’t going to let her end up in a nursing home. She wouldn’t have lasted. We always believed that at some level, she was conscious, though there were no words or laughter.”
They said that the woman even showed some signs of consciousness, like opening her left eye when hearing her father’s voice and even moving her arms on occasion.
“She had her own way of letting us know she was here. She’d huff or her nose would flare,” said Bernadette’s son Patrick. He was just four years old when his mother went into a coma. He is now a 25-year old man.
“We know she would have expired a long time ago if she had not come home to live with us,” said Patrick. “We know she’s gone home to God and to her mother and wow, that’s a plus.”

Great human interest story. Nothing like the love of God and family!. R.I.P. Bernadette.
WHERE WAS THIS god WHEN SHE WAS GETTING HER HEAD BASHED IN BY THIS PUNK?
REMEMBER, THE devil IS ALIVE IN KICKING!!! Her husband was the evil, wicked devil; just like his caucasoid counterparts!!!
INTEGRATION AND RELIGION HAS MESSED UP THE MINDS OF NEGROIDS!!!
Seriously, Son of Satan? you would stoop this low with your comments? This is beneath even your lowly demonic standards. Leave this great commenter alone, dark one
Derrick,
God is everywhere! Just because you can’t see him because you lack faith doesn’t mean he does not exist. You can’t see air but you know it’s there. God is GOOD!!!
If this god is EVERYWHERE, and this deity is suppose to be about peace, love and happiness; why is this Black brother DEAD?
Y’all and your cult religion of xtianity!!!
WHAT A JOKE!!!
Derrick,
You want to know where God is? He is with you now He was with you last night watching over you so that you were not beat to death. He was with your family that woke up this morning. He was and is with the billions of people all over the earth that got up this morning. He is with those who drove past the accident and weren’t in it. He is with those who were in the accident who MIRACULOUSLY made it through.
He is with the babies no one wanted that you don’t know about. He is holding the hands of those who are crying out. He is providing rain for those who prayed for the end of the drought. He’s with all the billions he touched this morning to have food, clothing, shelter and life. Even those like yourself walking in ignorance and darkness.
He said, if you reign with me you will suffer with me. Suffering does not mean the absence of God, it confirms the EXISTENCE OF GOD!
For the many stories of tragedy we hear of each day, there are countless numbers of miracles that are not reported that outweigh the bad. If you compare the number of people who lived today, did not get beat today and did not face tragedy today, it will far outnumber the number who died today or got hurt today. You better wake up and recognize, THE LORD IS GOOD and at anytime He can s****h your life out of your body to prove His existence, but in His Grace and Mercy He has allowed you to see another day to get it right. Don’t miss another opportunity my brother to give your life to Him today. You might be a statistic tomorrow without Him. AMEN
Remember He is the first and the last. If you think He is a joke, HE WILL GET THE LAST LAUGH!
@Derrick. You’ve got your thoughts all twisted. Though I feel your pain.
People are not able to see what we should see, or understand what we need to understand.
I must convey my condolences to her family and friends. This dear young lady suffered an unspeakable existence which was supposed to have been a beautiful unity of life and love!
There are millions suffering horrible living conditions here and abroad! The stories that are piling up concerning violence, torture, and murder everywhere, are heartbreaking to those of us who feel deeply for all mankind. Just as heartbreaking, is the ease in which humans can be so inhumane to each other!
May she forever rest in peace.
I love you but for there to be a devil the has to be a god! I am not coming at you from a religious view point, but a universal one. for every action there is a Equal and opposite reaction. God/Devil
Derrick
Get off this web site. you are so negative.
you are a very unhappy person. get a life
with something or somebody.
YOU DON’T KNOW A g*****n THANG ABOUT ME!!!
GET OUTTA HERE YOU caucasoid demon/devil, and run down that god shyt to your klanner buddies!!!
You are a sick person in desperate need of a hug, smh!!! All of those ppl arguing with you on a religious level don’t realize they’re only adding fuel to an already existing fire.. Although you’re entitled to your own opinion, you need to pick your battles wisely.. Satan has not ever, nor will he ever defeat GOD, in words or deeds!!!
Nothing beats a family love. With God in the picture, all things are possible. God did that so that we can see his power. You may want to think why did he not get her out of the coma but it was/is a lesson for us. I would have preferred to have my mother on earth taking care of her for 20 years with family support than to see her die at a young age. First, it gives you time to grieve and there is that sense that i will do good while I am on this earth.
FAMILY AND GOD’s LOVE CONQUER ALL. God bless her family and her father.
My Prayers go out to this family
That’s what you call true love. rest in peace
I hope he did jail time before he was deported . Rip
This is a tragedy! That poor woman died 21 years ago! Life support is NOT living. Please educate yourselves people. Would you want to be kept alive in this turtuous manner for 21 years? If you don’t specify what your wishes are via living will, this could happen to you.
It is very obvious that you should further educate yourself in the Medical Field before making such a comment. My Mother died after we removed her from life support. You are medically dead when your brain is still kicking but your body is in and out, or you are medically dead when everything shuts down. My Mother’s brain was dead but her body wasn’t so technically she was gone, but not officially because her body was still alive and she was hanging on for her children.
Sense this lady opened her left eye from time to time, she was alive, if she flared her nose from time to time, she was alive, if she moved from time to time, she was alive. You on the other hand would have murdered this poor soul just because you think you know it all. G-d wasn’t ready for her to go just yet so he at least kept her next to her family until she went on home. What qualifies my comment to you, myself and my twin had taken care of Mother since 11 years-old and she had so many health conditions that we had become medically educated on how to care for a sick person, the different medicines, the procedures done and explain to us as children, home care, different medical conditions and finally, the preparation if she went. We are now 30 and Mother went home CHRISTmas 2011 when we were just 29. Imagine caring for someone since age 11 after an aneurism. We were babies caring for her, and babies (college kids) when we laid her to rest last year.
You and your twin were given to your Mother for such a time as then, to care for you Mom. And, you don’t sound bitter for having done so. Amazing you two are. God is most AMAZING though. O HOW GREAT THOU ART.
My heart go’s out to you and your twin. You to are going to always be blessed. GOD IS SO GOOD. I DON’T EVEN KWN ANYTHING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR TWIN ARE EVEN KWN WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE TEARS I’M CRYN, I CAN FEEL THE LOVE YOU BOTH HAVE IN YOUR HEARTS. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. SINCERLY D.Jeter
What is your major discipline? I have a Living Will but my personal experience tells me this family did what was best for them, at least the children got to be near their Mother. I made the wrong decision in my Daughters case and it still troubles my Grandson..he never got to see his Mother. Physicians aren’t God,they make mistakes.. I won a malpractice suit to prove it. Some opinions are best kept to yourself. Best wishes in your Grad studies but above all else learn humility..your comment was hurtful.
@vip, my comment was not hurtful to anyone but you, so to you I apologize, but I had to tell the person above my commentary that they were wrong. You cant just throw someone away. We didn’t throw our mother away and this family didn’t throw their mother away. Everyone can say what they would do, but you never know what will be done until something happens…….next, this case and my mother’s cases were not malpractice at all so your sentiments of Dr’s making mistakes does not apply in my case or this family’s case. Some opinions are best kept to yourself. Your commentary was very hurtful
These hospitals make money off the ‘livin dead’!!! That’s why they keep peoplel in this condition on ‘life support’ but, you are legally dead!!!
IT’S ALL ABOUT MONEY NOWADAYS!!!
As you probably are aware, these racist record companies are still making more money off of Michael Jackson; while he’s in the grave; rather, then when he was alive!!!
You are correct!
When my Dad died, he did not want to be hooked up to a ‘death machine’! He wanted to die naturally; therefore, we took him home and he died, while we were in his presence!!!
MY DAD WAS A REAL GODMAN, AND I MISS HIM GREATLY!!!
What a testiment of love and sacrifice. As for her husband life happens and believe me being deported to a country that you weren’t raised in and fending for yourself won’t be a picnic. I assure you he’s wishing he were dead.
this was unconditional love for a family to take on this kind of responsibility.i know I’ve been there my husband died in 4 years and i kept him alive when doctors gave up.but it was not easy .i had help from friends,my foster kids,family.but I’m blessed and god has given so much in return.to this family may god continue to bless you as he already has.she is now home with him to finish her race.
The unwavering love of father. May God peace be with this family.
@ actiFIST some decisions are not yours to make.
I agree that family demonstrated unconditional
LOVE for their loved one. I pray you not ever be
faced with that decision– it seems it would be
a burden to you. That love and care came with
much sacrifice to the family. God and Bernadette
know. Rest in peace Bernadette. Your family
obviously LOVED you. We all have opinions
this is mine.
I agree with you 100%
It’s funny how you assume that I need to ‘Medically Educate’ myself. I am in the medical field and witness families faced with making end-of-life decisions. My heart goes out to you and many other people who live with the decision THEY have made to artificially sustain life. However, my heart goes out even further to the soul who has long left a body that continues to be tortured with urinary and fecal incontinence, bed sores, pneumonia, infections, and multiple hospitalizations… Why? Because families can’t face the pain of THEIR loss. Best wishes to you in your endeavors. I know your mother would be proud. #PatientAdvocate
@aci or whatever name u r using don’t be azz OK! Im an R.N. with an BSN OK! So don’t ever tell people what step they should take OK ….they did what was in their heart OK for her children to aleast see the her still and not just have pic or hear about her…..to her son and daughter may that your mommy have a peaceful rest may that her soul be at rest. and may that you remember her for her grandchildren OK I’m sorry that y’all lost her fully now but she will be happy.
DID YOU GET OUR EDUCATION ON-LINE?
I wouldn’t want you NURSING on me!!!
@Rashida, thank you!!!!!!!
Thank you all. I am Patrick Guiteau, the son of Bernadette Jones. My family can not express how much we thank you for your love. She is in a better place.
You welcome Patrick. Keep your head up Big Guy!!!! xoxoxoxo
Thank you to all who have commented on this article. I’m Erin Stewart, the daughter of Bernadette Jones. She was a beautiful and wonderful mother and our family was definitely blessed to have her with us as long as we did inspite of her condition. Every day of her life she knew that we were by her side and we never stopped loving her. She will always live on in our hearts and will never be forgotten. Love you mom and we miss you lots!!
Just as a correction on the article above, the father of Bernadette Jones is Robert Anderson, Jr. and her ex-husband that was deported is Patrick Guiteau, Sr.
I am glad her ex-husband was deported and I pray he is receiving his just due for this terribly horrendous crime. May G-d bless you loves. My Mother passed during CHRISTmas 2011 so I share your heart in sympathy. xoxoxoxo
YOUR FAMILY ARE SPECIAL, REALLY SPECIAL PEOPLE. Ugh. You looked to the heavens where your help came from. Wow. Inspirational. Thank you. Thank you.
Send up some prayer for the family.
Amen. Lord, we know that You doeth all things well!! So Lord have Your way!!!! In Christ Jesus Name. Amen!!
Wow! Amazing story.
God blessed and sustained this wonderful family..He gave them the strength to care for and be near their loved one until He knew it was time to bring her home for Eternal Life. May He continue to bless and strengthen them until they all meet in His Heavenly Home. Amen
I am one of the many nurses who cared for Bernadette. I personally was with this family for 13years and understand their pain right now. Every one of them I consider family. I do believe Bernadette was communicating with us in her own way. She is at peace now and with her mother and Him. God finally called her home. As weird as it may sound, I don’t think any of us were quite prepared for her to go since she was in fairly good health (considering her injuries). I miss her terribly and I want Erin and Patrick to know I am still here for you both. You are family to me. I love you and I wish you all the best in life. Your mother is watching over you and protecting you now.
I don’t think anyone should be on life support for 21 years. That is forced living, the flaring of the nose the movements of the arms were probably involuntary movements. They kept her alive for their sake. Think about it, would you like to be om a machine for 21 years. What kind of living is that, it isn’t.
Yes, Lisa, many families mistake involuntary posturing as some kind of communication. It’s really sad to see. You MUST put yourself in their position. Modern technology could possibly prolong your life until you’re 150 years old… But would you want that? Think about it. Organ donation is an option many families choose to give someone another chance at life. This article did its job in sparking debate on this difficult subject.
Organ donation! Be careful with that. I’m saying if you get sick and go to ER, I’d be afraid they kill me for my organs. IJS. Organ donation should be a great tool, however….
None of your business but she was not on any machines! She was alive! For whatever reason the lord did not take her 22 years ago! THAT was his choice. We just made sure she was healthy and comfortable!
Thank you because there are some silly comments on here. My Mommie was only on life support for a day until I could get home, and there was no involuntary movements. My baby opened her left eye and moved her feet. She was holding on for us and two days later she went home. So I know this wonderful woman was alive. May her soul rest in peace with my mothers soul, and may they both watch over their children who are left in this cruel world of ignorant people.

For all to kW my mom was not on life support. Every breath she too was on her own
You do not have to explain yourself to no one Patrick. I have yours and Erin’s back 100%….
Patrick, I am so sorry for your loss. She is now with God and her mother at peace. I am Jennifer’s mother and I know how much she loved your mother and the family. How deeply Jenn cared for your mother to see that she got the best care. It was such a tragedy for what you and your family went thru. But you all held strong, kept faith and love for her.
As Jenns’ mother, she would bring me nightgowns for me to improve so that your mother could wear. I felt very honored and joyed to do this for your mother.
May she rest in pease now and memories cherrish your heart, soul and mind. God Bless!
This sound like a very loving family. But do they really think Bernadette would of wanted to live this way. There’re somethings worse than death and this is one of them. I had a sister who had a stroke and she lived two and a half year. She wasn’t on life support but she couldn’t move. she could only moved her eyes flex every now and than. Any those probably were just reflexes. And the only reason I think God kept her alive that long was to build us up inside and have us see that this is no kind of life to live. And when she died I was glad for her.And I know that doctors don’t know everything but 9 times out of 10 they do. I know how this family feels because I would go and see my sister hold her warm hands, talk to her and comb her hair ect. but I was doing that for my own feelings. And if she could of seen into the future, she who told us to let her go.
I am glad that Bernadette and her family were able to spend time together after such a tragedy. There is nothing greater than a family’s love. However, I think it also underscores the importance of letting your family and immediate loved ones know what your choice would be if such a unfortunate situation happened to you. Personally, I would not want to be kept alive in a comatose state or if I did not have the brain capacity to be a functional human being. Although I know my family loves me dearly I would consider it selfish of them to keep me alive in a coma for years on end because they were unable to let go. It says she “suffered from infections and other medical problems” during the time she was kept alive. I would not want this for myself and many people feel the same way. Once again I commend this family for their dedication to their daughter/mother. But everyone should tell their family their wishes if a tragedy like this ever happend to them and the family should honor that choice.
Well said.
Now this story is completely. newsworthy. (minus the god s**t)
Corbin56, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in God; just don’t call talk about God “the god s**t.” We who do believe in God don’t call your beliefs “Atheist s**t.” If you’re an Atheist and you are a good person, you are still a good person. Simple.
Corbin, I couldn’t agree with you more. Where was this god, when her dirty husband was beating the h**l out of her, waiting for more praises?
He was in the same place as when HIS son was beaten beyond reconignition, His beard ripped out His face and a crown of thornes shoved down on His head. Yet He replied “Father forgive them” oh yea bdw, He died for you so u could live. Rather u believe or not, u will bow down and confess, but then it will be too late. To the family and care takers, i salute your love, devotion, and commitment to your mom. May God continue to hold your hand and bless you.

@moonhead:
I said the same thang! This god shyt is getting to be ridiculus. The same xtian negroids, will disrespect you or disown you, when they see a Black face on the streets.
They love this fake azz god, but HATE their brothers!!!
1John 4:20 reads: If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
NOTHING BUT HATERS, HEATHENS AND HYPOCRITES SITTING IN THE ENTERTAIMENT CENTERS (CHURCHES) ON SUN-DAY MORNINGS!!!
LIARS! LIARS! LIARS!
Satan the lord rebuke they it is written God is God even the devils believe and know there is a God. Your are hurt and the rage and anger in you is awful you are lashing out bitter words at others may God help you to find peace before you leave this earth or in h**l you will lift up your eyes and you will confess with your tongue that he is lord to the glory if the father God.
Moonhead “devil” waited for the opportunity to jump in this “godless” moment to pounce. As soon as he saw the “g-d” comments, in he went! #LostSouls
I CONCUR!!!
These negroids have gone god CRAZY!
And they’re suppose to be so educated. I call them EDUCATED FOOLS and slaves!!!
This is just wrong, you don’t love G-d fine then don’t, but this is not the place for this. A lady has passed on home from this life and her children are mourning her loss and you all post foolywang for them to see this???? You are making that grief worse. You all are not people, you all are animals. L-rd I rebuke derrick – top satanist, moonhead, and corbin56 for their awful comments at a time when people are mourning their grave lost. G-d please let your angels abound around the grieving and the lost souls who wish to remain lost, and protect them from all hurt harm and danger. Please shield the children and family of Ms. Bernadette from temptations and ignorance of satan and his spawn. Please shield them from the ignorance of this world and the terrible dissonance here on this thread. In Jesus Name Amen!!!!
Patrick, I offer my sincere condolences at this sad time. Perhaps, your mother could hear your voice change and grow deeper as you grew up; her little boy is now a man. Be strong and know that thousands of people are praying for you and your family. May Almighty God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Life and death is in the hand of God! And when he’s ready He will move in His time. Unless you have walk down the road Bernadette children have. Please keep all negative posting to yourself. Some things are better not said if they are not word that come to built one up! God is still in control.
To Bernadette family. God is your comforter, your strength, your peace. Just continue to lean upon Him. And to draw upon His strength.
Take His yolk upon you because it is easy!
What a compassionate and loving family, most families would not of chosen to care for a comatose patient for the length of time her family dedicated their lives to caring and nurturing her. What ever happended to the degenerate husband? I hope his existance upon this earth is miserable.
Despite what all this family went through, they did what’s right for them. It’s easy to have an opinion when the shoe is on the other foot. Being a nurse, I’ve seen more people die than I care to count. To read about a family that had that much love and dedication for someone is astronomical! Very few people have a Will made out @ 31 yrs.old.I’ve always heard that the hearing is the last to go so who’s to say she didn’t know her kids were right there by her side.It’s not about mans law, but GODS’law. So for everyone with a opinion, love your family today because tomorrow is promised to no one!
Bless you Rhonda, family is important!
THANK GOD HE WAS DEPORTED! THR R SO MANY MANY MORE THAT ARE HERE IN USA PASSING THESE INFECTIOUSE DISEASE N DISRUPTED GOOD FAMILIES. WHAT A STRONG AND LOVING FAMILY MY HEARTFELT PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU ALL MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU ALL!
I would want to believe this…what would the person who’s in a coma would WANT? Not what I would want…be shelfish.
I know for certain, if I’m brain dead?..Do NOt put me on life support, there is NO coming back from being brain dead. I have not read one case thus far of those who are brain dead coming back from being brain dead.
The brain dead body can function on life support that’s WHY its called life support people..that’s a NO BRAINER..so the body will move and respond out of re-flex..and not by brain activity..get a CLUE PPL.
I too believe if God wants to heal someone..God doesn’t need a Life Support machine.. so if the person/woman was brain dead for 21 years..and so when God heals..God does it completely..not leave someone on a life support machines for 21 years.. get a CLUE PPL. chances are the father could no longer afford or receive tax payers money to keep his daughter on life support…and she was taken off..and died instantly…as she did 21 years prior.
I think its HORRIBLE to keep a brain dead person functiong on life support machines…let them GO..and rest in peace.. with God …or in torment…h**l with satan
She was in h**l, while she was getting beaten by that PUNK, called a husband!!!
Ain’t no d**n floating city up in space, y’all call ‘heaven’ nor is there a place in the ground call ‘h**l’…THEY’RE BOTH RIGHT HERE ON EARTH!
Black people are going through h**l, RIGHT NOW! We are still being hung, beaten, disrespected, and oppressed by these caucasoid devils HERE ON EARTH! And, these negroid devils, who are killing each other!
These rich caucasoids are living in ‘heaven’ on Earth because they are the ones controlling YOUR MIND to beLIEve in some deity up in space. They are sitting back laughing at you negroids with god mess!
Heaven and h**l is a STATE OF MIND! Although, the outer core of the Earth consists of super-heated liquid molten lava, it is mostly made up of iron and nickel, which is why some geologists, call it molten metal instead of molten rock. The outer core creates the Earth’s magnetic field.
The Earth’s crust is not called h**l; there is nobody down in the Earth with a pitchfork to stab you because you are ALREADY DEAD when you are put into the ground!!! How can somebody be down in the Earth poking your a*s until eternity when you turn to ashes in your grave?
WAKE UP AND STOP BEING THE GATE-KEEPER OF LIES!!!
AIN’T NO d**n god or devil!!!
Psalm 82:6 reads: “I have said, YE ARE GODS and all of you are children of the Most High.”
I’M A GOD!!! DEAL WIT IT!!!
Isn’t it ironic you use the WORD OF GOD to try to disprove God….hmmmmmmm. Sounds just like when Satan tried to use the Word of God on the Word of God, Yeshua, Jesus. Some things never change…new level, same devil. No matter how you try to state it, only Jesus the Christ is LORD.
wow this whole story and convo went to a whole diffnt level. God bless her and her family. and her son said she wasent on life support every breathe she breathe was on her own! well said patrick! god bless her…. and i sorry for these non believers!
Derrick where in the h**l are you from. May she rest in peace and bless the family for they showed love during her life time.
I am so sick of people asking where was God.Do you know for certain if this woman was warned b4 she married this man or not. We sometimes closed our eyes to things that are right in front of our eyes.God will then step back and let you have that choice you made.You do as you choose and then hollar where was God.God is where He has always been letting you make your choice.You know better and then still make the choice so live with or die with it.Sorry dear family don’t mean to be cruel but stop blaming God
This is truly a heart touching story, what a way to give the family and children closure.
May God keep you is my pray
OMG–that family knows what loyalty and true love sincerely means.RIP Bernadette
Rest In Peace Bernadette. My deepest sympathy and condolences to Mr.Guiteau, Bernadette’s son Patrick and their family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
I don’t expect people to agree on matters like this. I certainly don’t want to be hooked up like that for 21days, let alone 21 years. However, due to ignorance many if not most people do not have- a living will and the MONEY FACTOR causes someone somewhere to milk the system for all it’s worth. Even if she had come out of the coma, what kind of shape would she be in? Would she be able to breathe, eat, have voluntary urinary and bowel movements, walk, talk, see, remember? It was just a terrible tragedy. I have no use for any GOD that would let this happen to anyone.
I hope I didn’t offend any believers with my last post but I am an agnostic and I tell it like I see it.
THIS IS REALLY A TRUE LOVE STORY. WHAT LOVE THIS FAMILY HAD FOR THEIR DAUGHTER/MOTHER/FRIEND. YES! SHE WOULD HAVE EXPIRED LONG AGO IF SHE HAD BEEN IN AN INSTITUTION. MAY GOD COMFORT YOU BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY BRING PEACE AND CLOSURE NOW. SHE IS IN THE ARMS OF A LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER.
My heart goes out to this family. God bless her wonderful father for taking care of her all of these years. This is a wake up call for anyone going through similar situations. I will never allow myself to be put in a situation where someone beats me into a coma. Dear God, what kind of man could do that to his wife.
This story was touching. And to know she was NOT on life support is even more amazing. She had the ability to see her children grow. She felt the love of her family. As for the man who did this to her… There’s a special place in eternal damnation for him that will make her 21 years in a coma surrounded by LOVE seem like a blink of an eye in time. God bless this family.
Satan the lord rebuke they it is written God is God even the devils believe and know there is a God. Your are hurt and the rage and anger in you is awful you are lashing out bitter words at others may God help you to find peace before you leave this earth or in h**l you will lift up your eyes and you will confess with your tongue that he is lord to the glory if the father God. I will be praying and fasting that God will deliver you Derrick you need help.
My prayer go’s out to this family. This family had TRUE LOVE for there child/mother. I wish I would have had a chance to have my oldest son breathn ,open his eye,flar his nosie or move his arm. Rest in Paradise Bernadette Jones.
This is an amazing story of sacrifice and love. I didn’t make this choice,
Doctors told me my daughter was brain dead and there was little hope
For her. They wanted her organs to send to the ny transplant donor center.
Miracles happen everyday, people do recover from comas.
Since my daughter, I met 2 people who were on life support. If U saw
Them today, u would never know. That used to make me feel guilty,
Because maybe my daughter would have come back.
I made my decision, and Bernadette’s family made theirs!
They gave her a chance, something hospitals don’t give.
Insurance runs out and space is limited. It’s about money not
The preservation of life.
To john Henry hill my mom was not on any machine she was took off life support soon after it happened. She took her own breath. God did that. You was not their to see what she could do. So stop please! And no one bt my grandfather paid to keep the lights heat food and their wise on. NYS did very little for us bt what they did we are grateful. People that soon will reply she keep herself alive. Don’t disrespect my family we love my mom.
Patrick, you don’t have to defend yourself, I have your back. Don’t even revert back to this post to see the stupidity of too many. A lot of people love you and your family and we don’t even know you. I share your pain and sentiments.
A father’s love for his daughter.
Derrick-all I have to say to you is “you are one individual that have one h**l of a problem”.
Derrick, you are seriously flawed! You are the most insensitive person I have seen on this forum.
There low life’s and then there’s Derrick.
This family that we speak of can surely do without your foul screwed up
thoughtless mindless c**p! What is clearly understood of you, is, you
are very special. It is also very clear that you are a Spawn of a different Breed.
Perhaps a seedling of Satan (your god) himself!
It is also, very very evident you have a huge hole in your soul based on all you have
spewed on this site. Be kind to those around you and the folks on this site, please stay away with that c**p
you bring with you. Oh, and by the way…..God is aware that you’re in need of him more than anything else!
God Bless You Derrick.
For those who feel the need to speak about Derrick’s remark. Remember Derrick is not the topic. Don’t let him ruin your moment! Learn to ignore the ignorant and pray for him as well. He’s entitled to his opinion just like the rest of us. Don’t get it twisted, I feel your anger as well.There are many people out there just like him. I avoid these characteristics in ppl and just keep it moving! His day will come as well!
Patrick Guiteau, the woman’s father is a man of honor. He did everything he could to take care of his loving daugther. This is a very sad story, it should have NEVER happen. I do hope the man who really is not a man – just a man with a lot of evilness. Her family will always has their arms around this precious woman!
To Surrealist..you are correct…its all about the insurance and money…..thats the truth…and to Derrick……you think God wanted her to be beaten by her husband…No…what you are forgetting is that the Devil was once an angel that was kicked out of heaven for trying to take the place of God…and he is gaining power by having his followers do things like beat thier wives…..the Devil was the one testing the familys faith….not God…but the family held onto their faith…and the Devil lost…because he tried to break them but couldn’t!!!!!!!!
I agree 100%
My prayers go out to Ms Jones and her family. Peace and Love
