Brigette,

My thoughts and sympathies go out to you. It was honor to have both you and your mom on the RKHS Race for a Cure team, though we never met up Race day. I did meet your mother on several occasions at school, and had the pleasure of working with her. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Brigette,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. My daughter and I met you and your mom at the cancer HOPE walk a couple years ago. Too bad we never got to go to the play together that she had won tickets for on the raffle. The dates just didn't work for us. We will keep your mom and you in our thoughts and prayers. Our deepest sympathy, Sharon and Jen Bystrek

To the family,
I worked with Erin years ago, when she was at Northwestern Mutual in the Life Benefits area. I enjoyed working with Erin so much. She would always make me laugh and was very, very caring. She used to talk about Brigette and show me pictures all the time...my prayers and thoughts are with you. What a courageous woman she was, and will still be in spirit.
