So sorry for your loss Ralph.
Bridget was a great friend of Carol
and I. I´ll miss her laugh, smile and sense of humor. I first met Bridget at Loyola University, downtown campus, when she worked with Carol in the office as a secretary.

I met Bridget, sister of my Loyola roommate Lucy, in 1968. She was pure joy and happiness who always uplifted my spirits. Her generosity and kindness were unsurpassed. I know the days ahead will be tough for her husband, family, and friends. I pray our sweet memories bring laughter and console us.

With love,
Diane Denk,
