Dear Olivia, I just found out about Brigitte. I am so sorry ... I am going to miss her so much. She always had a way of calling right when I needed that special lift that only she could do. She always had some great gossip and before she hung up she would say, I love you, and tell Ray I said Hi....(she secretly loved Ray... hehehe) You all are in our prayers...

I am so sorry to hear of Brigette's passing. I have many fond memories of her at Camp Easter Seal as I was one of her counselers nearly 15 years ago although it seems like only yesterday! Thanks for sharing your daughter, she will be missed by many!

Dear Sweet Brigitte,
When I went to the hospital last month to clean your teeth,you smiled and said"You just made my day!". But Brigitte, it was you who made my day. You brightened the day of everyone who was around you and your sunshine will be missed. We had our picture taken together that day and I look forward to getting a copy so I can always have you with me. Heaven has a special angel on it's way. Walk with them as you so deserve to do.
With heartfelt sympathy to Olivia, George and family.

I have known Bregitte for a long time and went to camp with her several times. She would always be laughing at something. I don't think I had ever seen her without a smile on her face. She is making smoke rings running around heaven now. Rest well Brigitte and live it up in heaven. You will deffinately be missed here on earth.
My heart goes out to all of your friends and family.

God Bless,

My heart is heavy as I grieve the loss of Brigitte. She was an amazing young lady with the most profound strength and zeal for life. Everyone loved her so much at STH and I truly will miss her smile, humor and spunk.
