Not sure what to say?

Brigid was a gem. Witty, charming, gracious, wise, committed to justice, great traveling companion; all with a wonderful sense of fun. Such a gift to have shared life's path for a few years. Comfort, peace and heaps of loving memories to family and friends.

Thank YOU for being such a GREAT lady. I did know you from CNWE, but I did not know of "all" of your GOODNESS. THANK Y O U.

I did not REALLY KNOW all that has been said by Lynne LaVictoire - but I DO NOW. Thank You to Lynne for all that BRIGID O'REILLY has done!!! She is a "VERY REMARKABLE WOMAN".

I was blessed to be Brigid's colleague at Amnesty International Canada. I treasured her wisdom, her perspectives and her nature. In the spring, my garden will welcome a native plant to honour Brigid's considerable contributions to our world.

So sorry to hear of Brigid's passing.
I knew Brigid from her teaching at Monarch Park, and later from
our shared interest in gardening. A fine person.

My heart is sore but my memories of Bid are rich... We met at St Michael's College in 1955 when we both arrived age 18 at St Joseph's College.We became lifelong friends; she came to John and my wedding in 1961 in Kirkland Lake, worked at Camp Shawanaga and traveled together to Machu Pichu.She taught me a lot about justice for women.She and Peter Munsche shared a rich cultural life and .much happiness. The world is now dimmer.But Bid your immense work is done.
