Bridget would often say the greatest love of her life was her husband, Danny. They spent their lives together, raising their family. She loved to tell the story of the first time she ever saw Danny in school and her heart fluttered.
Bridget loved to travel, but her happiest times were spent in her kitchen making amazing meals for her family and friends. She loved caring for her plants and watching her butterflies and hummingbirds sitting on her back patio. She was a faithful servant to God. She would help anyone who needed it with a hug, a full heart and a home-cooked meal. Bridget said that when her time came, she would sail away to Heaven like a butterfly.
