I wish to express my sincere sympathies to Bridie's family. I'm sorry to say I had never met Bridie but attended her memorial mass as I believe she is a 2nd cousin. I was touched to hear the stories from her family and Father Bernie. Now I know her as a caring, gentle, sweet woman, with a real spark and sense of humor. Thanks to the family for a wonderful, caring tribute.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the Corbett family on the sad passing of your mother Bridie.Coming so soon after Dennis passing is indeed a double loss to you all. I fondly remember meeting Bridie two years ago.In the space of a few hours she practically told me her life story & shared with me several stories about my late father & Bridie's uncle Colman.
I know she will be greatly missed by you all. Ar dheis De go raibh a hanam uasal

My Dad needed her more than we did - she will be missed terribly, but we will remember that she lived a great long life. For which I will always be grateful. She was the best mother and most devoted and loving grandma a person could have. love Maria Guerra
