Bridget and I met in school, The Immaculata. Bridget was my Maid of Honor at my wedding, and we retained our friendship ever since. Even though I have lived other places since leaving Chicago, it became important to see her whenever I was in town. Bridget was always was always cheerful and was great about sharing her family with us on social media. She will be missed. Rest in peace with Dick.

I knew Bridget since we were 13, so many memories. Fifty years after graduation from HS we served together planning our reunion. Afterwards Bridget presented each of the committee members a navy blue sweat shirt with Immaculata on it. Every time I wear it I think of her. So glad we stayed connected.

There were many days I worked along side Bridget in the 19th District. She was fun loving and I counted her amongst my friends. We had many talks about her love of her husband and family and plenty laughs. May your lives be filled with peace and fond memories. I'm truly sorry for such a great loss. Bye for now my friend.

You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

With deepest sympathy,
