Our deepest sympathy and continued prayers for Joe, Nora, Michael and all of Bridie's family. May God bless them with the love, strength, comfort, and support to get them through this most difficult of times. We celebrate her glorious life with you. Feel no guilt in laughter, she'd know how much you care.

Feel no sorrow in a smile that she is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever; she would not want you to.
She'd hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour or a day,
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here,
And fills you with the feeling that she is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safely within your heart.
