Frances (I’m singling out Frances because we graduated together) I am so very sorry to hear about Bridget. I’ve lost two bothers and the family is just not whole anymore. I will have a Mass said for Bridget and will keep you the your other siblings in my prayers. I live in Texas and because of COVID don’t get to Baton Rouge. If you’re anywhere close to BR I’d love to see you again it’s been ages. Susie has my contact informaton. God Bless you and your family.
