To Bridget's family:
I was shocked and saddened when i learned of Bridget's untimely death. She was an AMAZING person. Her smile so bright it could light up a room, especially when she talked about her boys! She helped me thru some of the toughest moments of my life. Talking to her was like talking to your sister or best friend. My daughter, whom she helped also LOVED Ms. Bridget. She was the one person that had so much strength post-katrina and helped me start a new chapter in my life near where she grew up. I will forever be grateful to god for bringing Bridget into my life as a counselor and friend. My prayers are with her family, her boys, Will and Mitchell. Your mother was a wonderful person who loved you very much. It strengthens my faith in god to know she is watching over all of us. She is my angel.

To all the Lobells and grieving family members and friends, I can hardly imagine how you are feeling at this time. After just losing my brother Paul, very suddenly, just over a year ago, I am most sympathetic of your very deep loss. In turn, Bridget was a gift from God and sorely will be missed among us.

Even though she was a year younger than me, she was still someone to look up to all of those years, in grammer and high school. I sincerly considered her one of my closest and dearest friends at that time and have always thought of her here and there through our adult years.

Wamest Personal Regards,

Pam, Marty and John Young
