September 16, 2018 at 4:34 pmI am at a loss of words. Received the very sad news of Bridget’s passing. My love for her and the family was always there even if we had not seen each other in several years. Our competitive spirit fueled our beautiful relationship. And Bridget was always there for me whenever I needed her wisdom. Such a great lady and will forever be with me. I know she is at peace smiling that infectious way she did with a laugh like no one else
Much love to all!!
“Mighty Mo” Florio ❤️❤️(Bridget ‘s nickname for me)
and Nick of course!
