Great Auntie Bridie, I will keep my fond memories of you locked in my heart. I have so many memories as a child. I even remember your husband teaching me how to place chess : ) I hope you and great uncle Eamon are reunited. May you Rest In Peace. Love Kathleen
We are saddened by the loss of my dearly beloved sister Bridie, who I had a wonderful childhood with, growing up in Coolevin Road. She always made sure I looked my best when I was dating my darling Pat. I was proud to be a groomsman at her wedding to Eddie. We always enjoyed her hospitality in their home in Santry and Willowdale. She will forever be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace Bridie. Gerard & Pat xx
Rest In Peace Aunty Bridie. We are thinking of Nuala, Larry, Eamon and all your loving family at this sad time. Codladh Samh. Ann & Pat Campbell xx
I’ve known Bridget for more than two years. The first day i met her, i was a bit anxious, seems to me that she is a very thorough lady. But as days goes on that i am seeing her 5 days in a week, i realized that my presumptions was wrong. She has a very strong personality, yet, kind, prompt and loving woman. We get along well. She loves concerts, driving around, fond of flowers and we even beautifying her front yard with lots of flowering plants.
I will keep Bridget’s memories in my HEART.
Deepest sympathy to O’Donoghue family. May Bridget’s soul rested peacefully and happily in the Kingdom of our God. Bridget , im gonna miss you…

Today was difficult, laying my mom to rest, but it was wonderful to be together with so many people who loved her. The mass with our old parish priest, father Ed, was grand and seeing some of moms friends, including Martha Oneil was great. The gathering at my moms house afterwards for a picnic in the garden was a really good way to feel some good memories. Thanks for organizing that Tara.

Rose, thank you so much for your patient love and care during these past years. Bridget always considered you as a friend and enjoyed all the excursions you both had taken. The parks, coffee shops, gardens…you always managed to put a smile on her face. For that we thank you. Fate sent you her way. Love always.
