Bridget Loretta Reynolds Portland, OR Formerly of East Lansing, MI Our beloved and treasured daughter, sister and aunt passed away on Jan. 2, 2013. Bridget was born on Jan. 22, 1986 in East Lansing, MI. She moved to Portland, OR in 2008 where she was currently a student at Portland State University.

Bridget's sweet heart and kind disposition will be deeply missed by her family and many friends. In tragically too short a period of time, Bridget managed to touch many lives. As a daughter she brought sunlight to her parents and as a sister she was a faithful friend, confidant, rock, council, and supporter. She had a passion for life that reverberated in her art and her writing. This passion and warmth can be felt in a poem she wrote as a child: "Joy is a very wonderful thing. Joy touches the heart in a loving way. You always have joy in heaven. A dove is a loving joy and peace symbol. The angels in heaven have so much joy they always are singing a joyful song "Joy to the World". Those little things like roses bring joy to most everyone." Bridget, you too brought joy to everyone, and it was by no little measure. Your presence will be deeply missed, but your love and memory will stay with all of us. Thank you for bringing such a bright light into all of our lives.
