Dear Ceri, Chloe and other family and friends, I am stunned by your sad news. Bridget and I greeted each other regularly in Edgewood Park, me walking my dog, and she walking to work. I will miss her sweet smiles. You are in my thoughts. I am so sorry for your loss, Khalila
I don’t remember when I met Bridget but I know that I loved her presence. She was such a warm and kind friend to many people.
My deepest condolences to you Chloe. I will always remember what a beautiful, free-spirited child she was. Always a true gift to be around her. I am so saddened by your loss.
This a great loss for all who knew her
all of use at the senior center will miss her great smile
she would bring us baked cookies and would help all of at any time
Bridget sweet, and fun, I am shocked and deeply saddened by this. My condolences.She had the best smile. I know she is smiling, her bright smile. So sorry.
Ceri and Chloe – my heart just aches for your family. I can’t imagine the tremendous loss you must feel. Please always know you are surrounded by many family and friends who love you and can help you find peace. I’m sending lots of love and hugs. Hang in there and take it one moment at a time.
Had I known the last time I saw her would be the last time, I would have hugged her and never let go. Love you Bridget.
I just saw Bridget two weeks ago at the Antique Mall and she was her kind bubbly self, full of smiles. As usual she jumped into help me unload and offered her assistance in the future with any and all things. SO Bridge! We made plans to see her home, which she was SO proud of. She touched so many lives and the world is a better place because she was here. Goddess speed Bridget. Dance and Sing with the angels!
Our condolences to the family. We are so very sorry for your loss.
I am completely stunned at so great a loss. She made my job so much more fun then it had any right to be. Bridget, thank you for being my friend. Love you always lady.
It’s hard to.imagine the Senior Center without her. I was fortunate to meet her there earlier this year. What a beautiful soul.
She’s up there riding her bike and still helping others, I am sure. Nothing to worry about Bridget, just pure joy and peace for you.
Chloe, Chloe, Chloe,
I am so sorry to hear this news. May the presence of the Lord shine upon you and your family. I cannot imagine what you might be feeling. Know that the Lord can be your comfort. Know that I am available whenever you need to talk. I love you and for all that you offer to others. I pray that you will be comforted.
Blessings,
My prayers and condolences. She will be missed. I remember her growing up. She and her sister would be with her father Gordon at game nights at Harry’s house, all bubble and sunshine.
What a special person Bridget was. She helped take care of my grandmother for over a year. My mom and I adored her. Bridget and I became Facebook friends and I loved seeing her baking projects! She will be missed and always fondly remembered.
Bridget was the most caring, sincere person I have ever known. My wife, children, and I all love her sooooo sooooo much. We will all miss her more than words can describe and we hate to imagine life without her. She made my family stronger and happier and will never be forgotten. THANK YOU BRIDGET, WE LOVE YOU!!!
Our heartful condolences go out to the family. We miss the presence of our lovable, happy spirited friend. We were blessed to have Bridget care for our mom, nana as she called her and there will never be another like her. She will live forever in our hearts. We loved her dearly.
Bridget’s passing is absolutely heartbreaking. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Ceridwen, Chloe, Perrin, Becca, and all of Bridget’s extended family and friends.
The thing I remember most about the first time I met Bridget 20 years ago is that, she was talking so fast! I must have looked at Ceri some kind of way because she said something to the effect of, “Yeah, she’s always like that.” Thing is, Bridget always had something to say that I wanted to hear. I will remember her for being opinionated and bold and outspoken, because I admired that in her which I hadn’t yet achieved.
As adults, running into Bridget was always a quick exchange of pleasantries and catching up, but then we’d spend the rest of those precious few minutes tossing book titles back and forth; she was an avid reader and I was her unabashed book peddler.
Bridget was a friend to many and so, so loved. May she rest in peace.
You will forever be our Hearts, We had so much fun just the days prior to you leaving us Bridgey, your new swim suit , you were so proud and it was adorable just like you.. You will be missed Greatly, Our family (Nana, Ron, Bert, Robby, Jamal & Stephanie) can Never Thank You enough for the Brightness you brought into our lives…. God Speed Little One…Peace!
Condolences to all on this sad occasion. I remember Bridget best as the girl who rode my foot (she was quite young when I knew her) throughout the house and chasing her and Ceri in the yard. She is a fond memory of mine.
To the Hedman family, please accept my sincere condolences in the passing of Bridget. I can only imagine that this loss has brought great sorrow, and God’s word assures us that Jehovah God does care when we loose loved ones (Revelation 21:4) may you all find comfort in this wonderful promise from Jehovah God and keep dear Bridget close in mind as you await the fulfillment of God’s promise.
