More than $13,000 had been raised as of Saturday, April 29 on a GoFundMe for Bridgette's funeral expenses.
"Bridgette was a funny, loving, caring beautiful sassy soul," the campaign reads. "She loved everybody, Bridgette loved life, Bridgette was a paralegal and just received her notary license, Bridgette was on her path of success in life, this was so unexpected and we were never prepared. but really are we ever?
"Her time here was cut short and that's not fair."
