I’ve known mammy Bridget for over 34yrs , we’ve had lots of laughter, lots of tears and wonderful memories to keep forever. When I just to ask you how you were, you always answered ‘I’m getting there Annie’ and now you have got to your final resting place. I will never forget you and I don’t think that I will ever meet anyone like you again in my life. You always said ‘look after each other’ and I will always look after your Bridget. Love always your favourite daughter in law Annie

Will be missed lots, so many memories which will be voiced by all of your children and grandchildren, a loving grandma and mother. Weekends will never be the same visiting you with my mum and been told my trainers were shabby to knowing which car we had come in to visit you. Miss you lots grandma Love Ryan
💚🧡🤍

Will be missed. The affection of your children shows your beauty live on.
Much Love

Oh mammy the pain of losing you is unbearable and I really think that I can’t carry on without you. For the 62 yrs of my life we were the ‘two Bridgies together’ I used to tell you that it was ‘me and you (the two Bridgies together) against the world and that we were winning (even if we weren’t) and now I must carry on without you which is so hard. I have to remember that I am ‘your Bridget’ who could do no wrong & do anything in your eyes …. the fighter …… the fixer ….. who made everything better (whether I did or not) - your namesake - your second in command - not the oldest as people seem to think despite me looking the youngest and not wanting to be thought of as the oldest …. I am third and the leader of those ‘mad kids’ I have to tell you now mammy that I have often looked at this gang of rascals… my ‘brothers and sisters in arms’ and thought ‘God help me with this tribe, how on earth am I going to drag this lot through life’ - you and them will ultimately be the judge of my success or failure. I did not realise then as that 6 yr old the super power that you gave us all by having your blood and madness flowing through our veins and the invisible, unbreakable rope that you tied yourself and all of your kids together with forever.
You breathed life into us and made us battle ready and designed for life …. not an easy life of money, possessions and privilege that you would have wished for us but a hard tough life. You gifted us with your resilience, kindness, compassion, lack of judgement & prejudice and ability to treat a king and a tramp the same. You gave us life, a love like no other and laughter …. forever laughter.
I’ll always remember those days (before Alzheimer’s got hold of you) when me and Chris would lie either side of you in bed (me always by the wall) with we would talk about nothing and laugh. I always told you ‘to keep a spot in the bed for me with you mammy’. We would always go together ‘for tea and a bun’ usually after your appointments, like the day we went to get your results and you Alzheimer’s was confirmed …. I cried my eyes out but we still had our ‘tea & a bun’ in the cafe afterwards - when your Christopher rang you that evening, you told him that you had a lovely day, ‘one of the best days of your life’.
In my life I know that I will never come across the like of you again, I do not say that as your daughter & your favourite but because every one who ever met you would say the same - I could never forget you, mam and will love you always & forever - I will carry on as ‘one Bridgie against the world’ now for both of us until we are reunited and ‘two Bridgies’ once more.

Amazing work! Very happy to donate x

Nana, we had great times together with your quick witted stories. You were always had making me all laugh. I miss all the times we had together and will always remember you at grandads the good times we had and he famous Sunday dinners. I will always laugh when I decided to be a social worker and you said why do you want to do that? I am still asking the same question. 🫣 Grateful for the years we had after that continuing to make us smile and the Christmas’s and Birthdays and all the other times which will never be the same.


I feel sad, knowing you are no longer with us but also take comfort in knowing you will be with grandad and dad again. Love always

This is a great cause - for the love of Ireland & the irish

Oh mammy the pain of losing you is unbearable and I actually think that I can’t carry on without you. We were always the two Bridgie’s together, I used to say ‘me and you against the world’ and that we were winning even if we weren’t. Now I have to carry on without you which is very hard but I have to remember that I am ‘your Bridget’ who could do anything in your eyes … the fighter…. the fixer …. who made everything better whether this was the case or not … your namesake … your second in command …. not the oldest as everyone thinks and not because I look it either - the leader of your ‘mad kids’. I have to admit now that I often looked at them individually and collectively as ‘brothers/sisters in arms’ and thought ‘I am really in the shit big time’ but with your blood and madness running through our veins we always stuck together and pulled it off (or gave the impression of at least) - you breathed life into us, made us battle ready & fit for life not an easy life of luxury, excess and privilege but a real life - a tough hard life - you gifted us with resilience, adaptability to any situation, compassion and to treat all people with kindness without judgement and prejudice from a king to a tramp - you gave us a love like no other and laughter, always & forever laughter. I remember before your Alzheimer’s got hold of you, me and Chris would lie either side of you in bed (me by the wall) talking nonsense and laughing - I always said to you ‘keep a spot in the bed for me mam’. You loved our jaunts for ‘tea & a bun’ usually when you went to appointments - on one occasion when it was confirmed that you had Alzheimer’s I just cried but we still had our ‘tea & a bun’ in the cafe afterwards - later that evening when Chris phoned you to told him that you had a lovely day, one of the best days of your life in fact.
I will never forget you and will love you always - I will carry on as ‘one Bridgie against the world’ for both of us until we are reunited.

Mammy Bridget you were a strong lady & enjoyed life to the full. Make em laugh up in the big house! Luv Karen & Romy x
