Not sure what to say?

Bridget

They say the Lord works in mysterious ways
So I try to look through the haze
With a prayer I ask my plea
That the Lord will help me see
But sometimes His logic goes beyond me

They say in everything give the Lord his praise
Whose only son He sure did raise
He promises the same for those who trust
So our souls won't turn to dust
He says its so it is a must

So what's a person to do
To keep the faith and...

Better ask Ken, better ask Dan,
They will tell me as best they can.
They're not home; better call Jack,
He can tell me 'til they get back.

Jack's not there, he's not home,
I got the eenie, meanie, miney, moe.
Serving his country, can't call John,
Have no other choice, gotta call Ron.

"Hey Ron, how's it going?"
"Not good, I hate to say,
It could be tomorrow,
I don't know; it's still day to day."

I told Ron I loved...

Even though I didn't get to talk to Bridget as much as I would have liked to I cherish the times I did get to. The spirit and strenghth she should is an inspiration to us all. And I can say I am a better person because of knowing her and following her example. She will be missed greatly. We love you Bridget. Thanks for the memories.

Memories of Bridget

I recall when I first met Bridget. She was a young grammar school student and I met her at a family camping trip. Several members of the family were sitting around a campfire, talking and joking, when this young girl sat down next to me and started roasting marshmallows. Suddenly, she held a toasted marshmallow on the end of a stick and told me to eat it. I promptly obeyed her command. After proceeding to eat several marshmallows, I wondered why I was doing this...

I will always cherish the conversations I shared with Bridget at our family picnics, Christmas parties, showers and cousins’ luncheon throughout the years. She will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

I just want to offer my condolences to Ron and his kids and family. I always think of the garage, too. I couldn't believe it was yours. You all will be in our prayers.

Bridget will be sorely missed. Her giving spirit and unending smile will forever remain in my memory. Our prayers go out to her entire family.
Mary Rohrer and family

It was with deep sadness that my husband and I heard the st.Patricks church lector pray for the departed Bridgid Ruggerio instead of the usual sick prayer offered for her every week.I had been praying and thinking of her since I met her for the first time last November.My husband coached her son Nick in soccor and Bridgid attended the end of the season party.I had been talking with her for sometime before she revealed her condition and what she had just been through.I was shocked,she was so...

She was an Angel on Earth!

I recall many memories of Bridget while growing up and would like to share a few....

As a cousin to Bridget, the eight of us were raised feeling that we were all siblings not just cousins.

As children playing....we naturally played school and Bridget was always the teacher.

As a beautiful young teenager with many friends.

I recall her section of the girls bedroom displaying all of her many...
