Not sure what to say?

Dearest Bridget, I can´t believe so much time has passed since you were called to heaven. I know your family misses you, and always will. It´s a terrible thing to lose a child. Few families know that more than ours. Your family has been there for us in the past 18 months since we lost Sean, and I am so very grateful. Life is hard sometimes, but faith and family make things easier. We are all so excited that Tim has found the perfect girl in Alex. We will all be thinking about you and...

Always loved. Never forgotten.

Hi Bridget,

I'm sorry I haven't written in so long. I'm almost done with grad school, can you believe that? It's only been two years but it feels like it's been forever. I hate it here. Living here has been the unhappiest time of my life since losing you. You'd think I'd feel better now that I'm so close to the end but I'm not. I'm worried that I'll still be unhappy when I leave here. That I'll never be happy again. I'm sorry, I wish I had better news to share but I'm just not in a...

Dear Bridget.
I know this is a day late, I just couldn't white to you yesterday, today is not much better so I will make this short. Happy Birthday my beautiful Bridget, i can't believe you would be 20 years old, where did the time go it seems like yesterday that you were born. I really can't write much today. I have made a vow that I will only write happy things but not quite ready for that yet. I just want you to know I'm thinking about you and love you. Will write soon.
Love Joanie

Dear Bridget,

Dear Bridget, Just a short note to let you know whats happening as if you didn't already know. Timmy left for grad school today, I miss him already even though I didn't get to see much of him this summer. He stopped to say good-bye and to change change a light bulb in my garage I was really sorry to see him leave I even cried, not like me at all but I think this will be his last summer home as school lasts all year. I think he wants to live somewhere warm whem he finishes school, winters here...

Dear Bridget,I can't believe it's been nine years since you left us, not a day goes by that I don't think of you so many times. So much has happened since you've been gone, I hope you get to see everything from Heaven. I still wonder if you are still ten ore you age in Heaven and you are now twenty, I just can't wait to see you again. I know you are happy and you don't want us to be so sad but live is really hard without you. Everything that happens I think, I wish Bridget was here to see...

Hi Bridget, Some special news to share with you. Timmy graduated yesterday from Butler Univ. in 3 years with a double major, we are all so proud of him. I'm sure you were right there watching him. He will be off to Univ. of Indy in the fall to finish his studies in Child Physiology, I kmow he is going to do great things in that field and you will be right there with him. O how I wish you could have been there with us yesterday but I know you were right there next to him. We all missed not...
