Dear David, I have just learned of your wife's passing and I hope you are finding comfort in fond memories of a great life together. My best friend growing up in Florida, once told me her mother was your cousin and, I always wondered about that. Her mom was Mary Kassabian, from Boston and Armenian. Mary passed just this April at 89 years of age, she lived in San Francisco. Peace be with you.

I have been a fan of David Hedison's since Voyage premiered on network TV in 1964. I have collected many items from the different movie magazines in print back then. I have saved the clippings and articles from when David married the love of his life, Bridget in 1968. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet David in person at the 50th Anniversary of Voyage at the Westin at LAX in LA year before last. I was shocked and saddened to learn of Bridget's passing. I wish to give my heartfelt sympathy to David and the family for their recent loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear David, Alexandria, Serena, Jodie, and your entire family:

We are deeply saddened by the great loss of your beloved wife and mother, Bridget. There is an Eskimo poem, which is most fitting and touching to the loving memory of Bridget. "Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings, where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."

You are in our hearts and our prayers, during this difficult time.

Our Love Always, Devoted fans of David,
