Colm, Children, Mr and Mrs Riley, Kathleen and Pat...
I cannot express enough my sincere sympathies for the loss of Bridget. I am stunned and numb. God has the most beautiful angel in his arms - I am so sorry that I missed the services, but plan on visiting Bridget in PA where she is laid to rest. If there is anything I can do - please know you are all in my prayers. Bridget was one of the most beautiful people I was blessed to know - I will remember her always. My love and healing prayers to you all.

Colm and Family,Mr. & Mrs. Riley, Pat, Kathy,
I've been thinking of you and praying for you since Ray called to give me the news. I know it hurts, and there is not one thing that I can say that will ease the pain even the slightest. What I will say is that I stand with you in your grief and feel the pain with you.
Bridget and I recently talked in emails for the first time since I saw her at Ray's wedding. We were throwing around the idea of us all getting together. For now, it will have to wait until we all join her in Heaven.

A short Prayer, Colm

Lord Jesus, our Redeemer, You willingly gave Yourself up to death so that all people might be saved and pass from death into a new life. Listen to our prayers; look with love on Your people who mourn and pray for their lost loved ones. By Your glorious power give them light, joy, and peace in heaven where You live for ever and ever. Amen.
