I worked with Bridget at AJG. She was a delight to know and had a warm and wonderful personality. I remember how she would bring candy as a bribe every time she brought down work to DCN. Bridget was a pleasure to work with and I am privileged to have known her. I send my sincere and deepest sympathy to all her family and friends. Keep her spirit alive in the telling of her stories and her antics. She will always be part of who you are and she will be truly missed by all who love her.

Dear cherished friend,

I will always have a place in my heart etched with your memory.
I will miss your spirit and light.
Be at peace and without pain surrounded by your parents and God.

Your absense has gone through me like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color..(W.S. Merwin)

Bridgie was a dear friend and I have many memories I shared with her that I will hold in my heart. She was a special person that always put others before her. May her family and friends find peace in knowing she has been called Home. Hallmark stores will never be the same:)
God bless, Glenda Zelazny & Family
