Another year has passed, yet any mention of her name recalls all the appreciation I have held her in since first becoming aware of her. Peace be with you, dear woman. You are loved by many you never even met.

I wish that I had known Bridgett, but outside of becoming Facebook friends with her shortly before her untimely passing, my connection is intuitively speculative. Her spirit reminds me of my mother, who also lost her battle with cancer at an even younger age. I saw in MS. Rollins both a genuine sweetness and a hunger for enjoyment. It showed in the fire in her eyes and in the gentle nature in her special smile!. She seemed to carry herself with grace, where others with a similar career path could not muster. When the Wizard in Oz says that one is measured by the number of people who love them,, this is true of her. I like to think that if we had met AR a younger age, we would have enriched each other's lives with laughter and shared insights. Surely those who loved and knew her most, miss her most. My heart goes out to you who read my sincere thoughts.

I was fortunate enough to work with Bridgett at her last appearance, Glamourcon LA. She was SO lively, so much fun, she'd light up the room when she entered. Her Glamourcon family will miss her very much !

She was a terrific person, full of energy and enthusiasm. The world is certainly a poorer place with her passing.

i remember the issue she was in when my dad first got it. i couldn't wait for the following month's issue so i could snatch the centerfold of bridget. i did and she grarced my bedroom wall for months. I noticed she had an innocent endearing quality about her that only. enhanced her sexuality. she also brought great dignity to the meaning of womanhood. well years past and my "girly" collection was put away when i married. a while ago i came across a website with her picture on it. she has been my book mark for sometime now. yesterday was the first time i thought to "google" her to see what ever happened to her. i was devistated to see she was gone. i feel for her family, but am sure she is in a great place now. bless you bridget for inspiring this older boy in his younger days and i nish i could have met you before your short time here drew to a close.

I am so saddened to learn of Bridgett's untimely passing. Though I was never fortunate to have met her or know her, for some reason I felt a genuine connection to her for 35 years. Therefore, I was quite honored when she accepted me as a friend on Facebook, and had hoped to converse with her there. I was quite happy then to read that she was happily married and with a family she clearly loved and delighted in. I'm sorry she never got to read those words from me. To her husband and family, I express my most sincere condolences. My own mother was a victim of the same horrible disease, passing away at age 43 after a three year battle,so I know firsthand the heartbreak you must be feeling. I'm sure that she was every bit as sweet and caring as she was beautiful. My thoughts will be with you especially this coming Mother's Day. May you be comforted by the numerous lovely memories of her life.

I went to Jr. High with Bridgett in Rantoul, Ill. She was such an awesome young woman back then... I have not seen her since the 8th grade BUT I will never forget her smile. Something made me google her name today... what a sad day.

In 1979 Bridgett and I were in a play together and we became friends for a brief period. It was her first acting role and she did a wonderful job. That was over 30 years ago and I haven't had any contact with her since. But I had an uncontrollable urge to google her today. I can only believe she was saying goodbye. My heart goes out to you and your family. Bridgett was truly a wonderful person who touched my life as well as everyone who met her.

Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life. ~Albert Einstein
I think of this quote when I think of Bridgett Rollins Hanne because I know her daughter Sara Jane very well. And though I was never that acquainted with Bridgett, I know every great quality she ever possessed because they shine every day in her daughter Sara Jane Cantwell. Her brave fight with cancer moved us all to compassion and though she may not physically be here with us any more, she will always live through the many special lives she's touched. I would like her family and friends to know my sympathies, thoughts, and prayers are with you, and may God bless you all.

Although I never met you Bridgett, you have given us all a way to know you thru your daughter Sara. Her loving demeanor, great personality and kind heart surely can be traced back to your upbringing, guidance and example. May we all be blessed to leave behind such a beautiful everlasting legacy. Until the day we can meet – Adieu. (Job 14:14, 15)
