Drag persona of BernieMacDonald?.

From HISM Emperor V of Halifax, GaryTurner - Black

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of HISH Imperial Crown Princess II of Halifax, Nova Scotia. After a brief illness, Meshallay Crystal, aka BernieMacDonald? passed away on June 9, 2020.

I had the pleasure of serving beside Meshallay as Imperial Crown Prince II of Halifax, and also as an Executive Member of ISCANS while he was Premier of our Court. Bernie was a very dear friend of many years. A friendship I have always treasured.

There is so much to say about Bernie. I will always remember his wit, razor sharp tongue, the kindness and respect he showed for others, his glowing personality, his great sense of humor, his performances especially Dolly & Cher.

And so many more memories. Bernie and I were birthmates and for many years celebrated together. I will miss him so much as will all of Halifax.

My deepest, heartfelt condolences to his partner StevenCrossman? and both their families. Halifax has lost one of it's shining stars. Sleep with the angels my friend. I will miss you. Rest In Peace!

With Deepest Respect.

Public visitation at the Atlantic Funeral Home, 771 Main Street, Dartmouth will be held Sunday 2-4 & 7-9 PM. Memorial Service 2 PM Monday, with a reception to follow.

Private family interment at a later date.

• DivadDivine writes: Meshallay, Girl I have enjoyed getting to know you. You are an amazing person and you look great. You need to come out and perform more often sweetie! lol
• Someone: Meshallay was someone special who had a heart of gold and yes the name is right she will lay who ever she wants. You could ask her about a a snow storm and jumping snow banks in heels to go to a Gay bar on Granville Street. She was a wonderful person. She had been doing drag in Halifax for years and years and years and YEARS. She was appointed Imperial Crown Princess II and was first runner up for Mz. NRG 2002. She was the Susan Lucci of the drag world till Michala took over. She was famous for her Dolly, Cher and Dusty Springfield impersonations.

I'm positive that Rouge Fatale was most glad and gracious to hand the title to you. I'm kicking myself for missing the show, but from what people tell me, it was a grand night. *bows to the Queen of Hearts 2006/2007*
