I never had the pleasure of meeting Bridgette in person, but whenever we spoke, he spirit was always so strong, that even through the Phone you could tell she was a woman that meant business and a Woman of God. Whenn we spoke, she would encourage me and motivate me as she was also a young entrepreneur. She believed and mean and would tell me I can do anything. I Really Realy regret not meeting her in person and just thanking her with a great big hug for all of what she has done for me. One of the last times I spoke to her, I was overwhelmed with work and stressed, she could hear it in my voice. When I asked how she was, she said Chile, I'm okay, just laying here recovering from brain surgery ... and here I was stressing that my phone wouldn't stop ringing and my workload was heavy. Even more inspiring, her voice was still so strong and she was so alert, I would've never would've known if she hadn't told me. She spoke like it was just another day (lol). I loved her, her spirit. My condolences to her family, and Husband Robert. She was truly and earth angel.

Bridgette will not be the one people will have to create a alias character for. Her life was the truest example of support, kindness, compassion and a deep love for her family. I've never seen her in an unkind light and I've never heard an unkind word about her. My memories of her were always her seeing the potential in others and encouraging them to fulfill it. She is a beautiful soul that will be missed. I'm so thankful for value she brought to so many and her legacy lives on through those she blessed. We will see you again, You fought a courageous fight and now your rest is safely in the arms of the Lord. ❤

I remember meeting you at the age of 12. You even convince me to try out for the cheerleading team at Azeala Middle School. I didn't make the team because no matter how hard you worked with me, I just couldn't get that split together. I haven't talk to you since March, but when we did, by the sound of your voice I knew you had a big smile on your face. Fly High Beautiful! Until we meet again.
