Bridget was a remarkable woman who loved life, her family, and friends. She was the most compassionate, caring person I have ever known and brought joy to the lives of everyone she came in contact with and I consider myself blessed to have known her for as long as I have.

The first time I met Bridget was very memorable because I fell in love with her Irish accent. It would make you melt and you would want to sit and talk for hours.

Bridget had such grace and dignity throughout her fight with cancer and always possessed a positive attitude. She was truly an example to live by.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Bridget's family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

All My Love,
Lisa
