Dear Siobhan

Although I spoke to your mum on the phone I never met her in person.

You have thanked people on here for being her friend but believe me she was a true friend to all of us and will be sadly missed.

Like others I have cried buckets since hearing of your mum's death. She was always one of the first to greet you when you suddenly found mm touching your life and you logged in to this site for the first time. She offered support to everybody and very often brought a smile with that support.

I hope whatever service you hold for Bridget is a celebration of her life and a recognition of her ability to give comfort and support to others

With love and sadness Gill xxx

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this sad time, Siobhan.

Like many of us here I never met or even spoke to your Mum, but her inspirational kind postings, private messages and emails helped me immensely especially at the beginning of my MM journey.

I will miss her immensely and think of her with fondness especially when I wear my red "Brocho" knitted hat.

Dear Siobhan
Thank you so much for making such a brave effort to come and tell us about your Mum. To say she will be greatly missed is such an understatement as you, better than anyone else will know.

I think you must be very much like your lovely Mum and I know for sure that she is very proud of you. Keep listening as I know she will keep talking to you when you need her.

I am so grateful for the positive help and support she gave not only to me but to many others.

Love and very best wishes

Dear Siobhan
I do not visit this forum very often now, I have difficultly coming to terms with losing 'cyber' friends, although we never meet this is a close community. Bridget was special, she always had the right words and understanding for everyone who needed reassurance in their battle with this b****y* disease . Your mum and I relapsed at the same time and both went for the Myeloma X trial and I was devastated when the treatment did not work for her, it was just so unfair. Even through her pain she still gave comfort to others and we will all miss her her courage and spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family who she dearly loved.
Rest in Peace Bridget.

Dear Siobhan,
I am so saddened to hear of your Mum's passing. The sentiments expressed so eleoquently by other contributors are a testament to her wonderful and many contributions to this forum. Bridget has been a great help to me and so many others over the past number of years and I know now that her work on this Earth is done. I am so sad at your loss and yet so very glad that I had the opportunity to have made her aquaintance, albeit in Cyberspace. Ar dheis De, go raibh a anam.

Dear Siobhan

I was very sad to hear your sad news. Your mum was such a support, replying to my first post in October when I was so scared and confused and thereafter always replying to later posts. She really helped and cheered me up on some lonely nights and it was such a comfort to know that someone cared. I too am glad to have made her acquaintance on this forum. My thoughts are with your family. Take care.
Love Sarah xx

Dear Siobhan
When my husband relapsed after 7 years with MM I came onto the forum and Bridgit was among others who helped me through this time.
Bridgit also told me which pain meds to ask for, to help my husband.
I am very sad for you and the family at the loss of your dear mom but comforted by the thought that she passed away quickly with you all around her and now there is no more pain for her.
With thoughts of happier days to come and lots of good memories love Teresa

Hi Siobhan,

Can you tell us about the funeral arrangements for your Mum? I would like to know in order to have some quiet time during the service… To think about our friend and to share a smile and fond memories.

Regards

Dai.

Hi Siobhan

I have only just read the sad news about Bridget. Like others I have already shed some tears and will undouboutably shed more. I owe a great deal to Bridget. She was such an encouragement to me when I was coming to terms with being diagnosed with MM. Her posts, not just to me, but to everyone, were so helpful.

It was obvious that for Bridget her family was the most important thing and the thing that made the fight worth while.

I wish I was well enough to write something more fitting, but do take this as a sign of the love I felt for Bridget even though I only knew her via the Site. I have been concerned about her these past months. I am just glad that she is now at peace and that her going wasn't too protracted.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you all in these difficult days.

Much love to all your family.

Dear Siobahn,

What can I say that others have not already said, we are all so sad at your news. She was a good friend to me and I shall always remember her with affection.

My deepest sympathy
