Bridget Dowling

Mama was a true angel on this earth whose love was felt by all, even by her grandchild’s swear word saying best friend. There is not a single memory of a volleyball game or slumber party at the Dowling home that doesn’t include Mama (or Papa!). Our fierce cheerleaders , they would come to every game and even bring Bridgey and I a “hammy sammy” and some gatorades to share. It felt as though my own grandmother was cheering me on from the stands, or giving a tap on the shoulder when I said a bad word (sorry for making you blush, Mama!). Mama, I am not only blessed to have witnessed the love you have for Bridget, Eileen, Maureen & the rest of the Dowling clan, but to have felt it myself. Your kind and gentle soul has left a mark on many and your legacy of love and kindness will live on through those who had the privilege of knowing you.

All our love to Bridget, Eileen, Maureen and the rest of the Dowling clan. We love you.

Cate, Maddie & Andrew Serrao
