Dear Meg, You may not remember me but I used to live down the sidwalk in Foster Village from you and your family in the Cayman Islands 30 years ago. I remember you, Gene and Brigitte, like it was yesterday. Brigitte and I used to play together all the time. After we moved I never forgot about Brigitte, she played a big part in my memories from Cayman as a small child. Please accept my deepest sympathies and know I'm thinking about you in this time. Take care, Cindy Hurlston/Daughter of Bill and Debbie Poulos. 239-458-5991

Miss Meg:

You may not remember me but I went to school with Brigitte in the early 80's. She & I were friends & I remember spending the day at your place once. That was a long time ago and although life has taken us in separate directions, I've always remembered Brigitte fondly. She was a very sweet friend. This is such a sad loss for you and Brigitte's precious little ones who will not get to grow up with their mom, but please take comfort in the Lord's Word now and always.

God Bless!

Meg, I cannot express my sorrow for your loss. To lose a child must be the most painful hurt anyone has to experience. Brigitte leaves behind 2 beautiful children and they will help you get through the difficult days. Scott & I and the children will keep you in our prayers always.

Meg, Ryan, & Memory,

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Brigitte will be greatly missed. I will always cherish the good times we shared. I still remember how excited I was when she came to Destin to visit when I was 10 yrs. old. She drove Blakele and me around town in her brand new convertible. We just thought we were so “cool” because we got to cruise around with her that day. She always had a gift for making others feel special and accepted in her company. Call me anytime you need me. Matthew and I are here for all of you.

Love,

Meg, I just want you to know you are in my thought and prayers. From experience of just losing a love one, I will tell you every day it gets better. There will always be a void in your heart, but it does get better. Know that I love you.
