Bridgette was a sweet and beautiful person. I have had the opportunity to get to know her and many of her family members over the years. I have been included in many of the family functions and have never known such a close knit and wonderful family. I will miss her.

I’ve known Bridget since she was a little one. I was excited when her child started Elementary school. Bridget always wanted the best for her daughter. I was glad to see her when I checked out at Harps. She always asked about my family and updated me on hers. This is a great loss to our community family. I am thankful to have known her and her family.

I had the privilege of knowing Bridgette through Harps, and what a blessing it was. She was truly a beautiful soul inside and out. I cannot remember a time when she wasn’t wearing that gorgeous smile or speaking kind and encouraging words. She has been deeply missed since she left Harps, and she will be missed even more in this world. Bridgette, thank you for being the radiant, genuine you. You left us far too soon. My heartfelt prayers are with all who loved her—that you may find comfort and peace during this most difficult time.”

Such a fun person to talk to at Harps! She always spoke about Raeden, and how she hoped that she would attend college, and how she loves to read. I always hoped that she was working, so that I could visit with a sweet soul.
