It is with a heavy heart that I write these words for my dear Great-Auntie Bridget. I treasure such fond memories with you and my dearest Grandmother Norah. Our recent messages and last phone will be treasured forever and I’m so thankful for the words we shared together.
Sending our sincere condolences to our beloved family overseas as you face this sad and difficult time, may all the love and strength shown to you all see you through these hardships and take comfort in knowing Auntie Bridget would have been welcomed home with open arms by our family who adore her just as much as we do.
Rest in perfect Peace Auntie B until we meet again, all our love forever
