Nicole, Melissa and Family,
My mother and I have so many fond memories of your mother. Events at school, Girl Scouts and always seeing her seated near the front for so many years at St. John's Church. Your mother was always so kind and always willing to help. She was a gentle soul and will be missed. We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Love and God bless,
Susan and Elsie Mallory and Family

Brigitte was one of the very few, with her sweet way and quiet humor, to the point of blushing. Humble in all her talents and so non-judgmental a personality. We are grateful for the time we knew her and sad for this time away from her.
