Bridget is the soul of this site; she writes most of the content and selects and edits the rest. Just last Tuesday the fifteenth, the day after her birthday, Bridget was admitted into the hospital intensive care unit with Congestive heart failure. She is still there, holding her own, but progress has been slow and unpredictable. She is on almost complete life support and I am terrified and not handling things very well. I'm sorry but I can't find the strength to do the maintenance without her. I also spend most of my time at the hospital. I will post her status here again in the next few days. > She, and I, could use all the prayers you can send our way. > Thank you, > Russ Haggerty > > ______________________________ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Subject: I found family in Ireland > Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 08:56:30 -0700 > From: "Marilee" <mdmcq@pocketinet.com> > To: DONEGALEIRE-L@rootsweb.com > > I want to thank those on this list who have been such a great help. > I have found a cousin in Ireland and am so excited.
