I’m so sad to hear of Ms. O’Connell’s passing. Her dedication, kindness, and passion for teachng will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult time.
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I worked with Bridget last year at Grand Island’s summer program. She was always a steady presence and a great sounding board or source of advice. May you find comfort and strength during this difficult time.
Timmy and Dee I just saw this notice and so awfully sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family
I’m so sorry to hear that Miss Bridget is gone! She was the only person I knew who allowed us to talk about The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter in class. I couldn’t have gotten through the school day without it. She was very passionate about her writing and was constantly brainstorming plots with us. She was especially proud of a Harry Potter book she wrote that took 2 years for her to complete.

She got me excited about learning by teaching me new words like AU, slash, and mpreg. I like to think she’s finishing her Chronicles of Narnia stories in heaven. <3
