To Renee Bridges & Family, Your Mother Mrs. Bridges was an very educated women who enlightened the children in Rahway about the struggles of the black race.

My prayers are with your entire family.

My heartfelt sympathy to the family on the passing of your love one please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.

I am so sorry for your lost. May you find comfort in the God of all comfort because he cares for you. 1peter 5:6-7

Growing up in Rahway I looked forward to when I needed a greeting card or a book by a black author or i fo on Black history, I would visit Bridges book store. Mrs. Bridges was always there and if she did not have what you were looking for she would order it for you. Mrs. Bridges was a vital part of Rahway's history.
My condolences to the Bridges family.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Eva. But God is good and he promises that he will help us to endure these times of Sorrow. Psalms 46 verse 1 is most encouraging. It reads: God is our refuge and strength a help that is readily found in times of distress.
