"Jeff, Tommy & Ryan,There are no words to describe what we’re all feeling right now. Bridget was a key piece of the Coveted family. She was the utmost professal when it came to taking care of her clients. She was caring, tenacious, hard working and put her soul into everything she did for us. Bridget will be forever a part of this company she helped create. Coveted is more than a team, we are a family and we are here for each other. Please reach out to me if there is anything I can do to help you. Jeff, Tommy & Ryan we will keep you in our prayers.

"The tears have been many since i heard the news. But immediately they turned to laughs when i remembered all the fun times we all had together as we all met when we were single and continued our friendships as we all got married and had families and grew together. So many laughs, so many great times together. You will be missed but will always be remembered especially when stories are told and we continue to laugh about the good times we all had together. You will be remembered in my families prayers. Love Mike and Maura Geiser"

"My sympathy and prayers to friends and family. I knew Bridget in high school and I will always remember her kindness and bright smile. A life well lived but cut too short for sure."

Maria Martini Deneau from Cincinnati, OH

"Dear Gidge, I am devastated and at a loss. Not just a bright light but a solar ray to all who you met. Your bounce when you walked and the giggle that made me giggle just hearing it. Never again hearing your raspy “Hey Ri! It’s Gidge!”on my voicemail. It’s bizarre. Even through long periods of not seeing each other while raising our kids and through our lives, we always picked up right where we left off. Jeff- sending my love to you and your handsome boys. Sending you the strength of the world. Love, Ri"

Darrell Jackson from Clayton, CA

"To Jeff, Ryan Tommy, Kelly and the entire Summerwill family,I send my sincere condolences on the passing of Bridget. She was a terrific colleague and friend to me during our time at Northern Trust. She was alway a positive energetic person who was the consummate professional for her clients. She was also a wonderful teammate and person. I am saddened by her passing but honored to have known her and to have had her in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. My you be blessed with the peace that passes all understanding."

Jeanne McConville from Sleepy Hollow, IL

"Bridget you were the best friend anyone could ask for, and I will be lost without your advice and laughter. We shared so many years of discovery. We went to each others weddings, and shared the births of our 4 children. We watched them grow to adults and shared their accomplishments. I will cherish these memories the rest of my life. I felt a sisterhood bond with you the moment we met. Your life was cut to short, we were supposed to do those jigsaw puzzles together at the retirement community. My heart will always hold your memory close dear friend, there will never by anyone like you Bridge."

Maureen Lundy from Hopkinton, MA

"Bridget was my dear friend for nearly 35 years. We had business classes together at Marquette, and maintained a beautiful friendship over the years since college. To the family that raised Bridget, you are exceptional, and all of us who were lucky enough to be friends with her were very fortunate. Bridget embodied everything that was good in this world and she was an amazing role model. Not only would I have trusted her with my life, she was the most hysterically funny person to be around you could imagine. Bridget, I will never forget you and all of your amazing qualities. Heaven just got a whole lot more fun. I will miss you!"

Julie Hinkle Saint-Jacques from Colombes,France, OH

"May dear Bridget rest in peace, and may her children,husband, father, siblings and extended family and friends be able to find comfort in remembering all of the joyful moments they shared with Bridget over the years."

Nick Keseric from Naperville, IL

"I was truly Blessed to have worked with Bridget but more importantly, to be witness, as anyone that knew Bridget, to her energy, commitment, passion for life and her unselfishness in looking out to help others. When we would have coffee together every so often, first thing she would ask is about my family, then get around to talking business. While I will truly miss our coffee meetings, my heart will never forget Bridget."
