Tom and Kathleen, Please accept my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Lia Fidas
Dear Tom and Kathleen, You were always there for us when our two sons died. We would talk a lot in a time of need. We are here for you. God Bless. Jim
I cannot tell you how sorry I am that your lovely daughter is gone. May the time come soon when the memory of the joy and warmth of her time on this earth will replace the sorrow of her passing. Tar ar eis, cailin Bronwyn.
Dear Kathleen and Tom, Our heartfelt condolences over the passing of Bronwyn. Our thoughts are with you. Jim Semivan and Debbie Stokes
We were very sorry to hear about your daughter. It is never easy to lose anyone. Our prayers are with you always. God bless……………………
Tis sad. We share your grief. Love Paul and Rose Marie Leadem
Our hearts and deepest sympathy go out to you in your loss. Jerry and Jane Thompson
Words cannot express our sincere sympathy for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am very sorry for your loss. I have experienced losses both anticipated and unexpected. When I was fifteen years old in my first year in high school, my mother died of melanoma at age 54 on Monday, December 6, 2004; we were anticipating the loss. As with me, I am sure your loss is emotionally stressful for you and your family. Your grief may ebb and flow. It has been said that each of us has this well deep inside of us that can be filled to the brim with grief. Every time we cry, we empty out some of the well. But the well fills again. The level of sorrow in your well may lessen as time passes, but it will never run dry. There will always be birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and those days when the well seems to fill to its brim again. Allow yourself time to remember and mourn. It is part of your healing. Grief is a continuing journey.
We are the parents of Wes Citron, a fellow Madison High School band person. We remember and honor the memory of Bronwyn. We were fortunate enough to get to know her. My son appreciated who she was. We had her at our home for Wesley’s graduation party. I remember how worried she was about doing the wrong thing, saying the right thing, and eating the right thing. She was nervous at first and wouldn’t eat much of all the plentiful food available. However, we talked and talked with her and many of the guests in the kitchen, and before we knew it, she was laughing, eating, participating and celebrating with true Bronwyn fashion and style. She had a fashion style and personna that belied her lovely, caring, fragile self. As Wes’ mom, I truly enjoyed being around her and her ideas and kinkiness and flamboyant exterior. In a straight-laced Vienna environment, she was a welcomed aberration, that I embraced, given the cookie cutter, proper, Virginia world we live in. Probably no one else at that graduation party cared about what impression he/she was going to make. No one worried about this party. It just wasn’t that important or that much of an honor to be a guest. It was taken for granted….but not by Bronwyn. I wish I had the opportunity to tell her, today, that she was a beautiful, multi-faceted, warm human being with a kaleidescope of non-conformist ideas swirling within her head. Yet, she seemed so “just plain humble” and interesting and she and who she was did not go unnoticed or unappreciated by the Citrons. Condolences to the entire family. It’s hard to look into those piercing dark eyes in the obituary picture and not mourn the loss of Bronwyn. May you find the strength to understand and endure your loss.
As a long-time friend of Timothy’s, I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to the entire Sullivan family. My heart breaks for you. I never had the chance to meet Bronwyn, but have heard many wonderful stories about her. She sounds like an extraordinary woman. And to Tim, you know I’m here for you at any hour of any day. God bless.
Tom and Family …my deepest condolences. May God bless you and your family today and always.
Dearest Gretchen, Fred and extended Sullivan Family, I share your pain and mourn your loss of your beautiful Bronwyn. My prayer for each of you is that the memories you have of her will sustain you during this difficult time and the days and years to come. You were so blessed to have had time with Bronwyn here on Earth, even though it was a shorter time than you would have hoped for. I also pray that you find comfort in knowing that she is at complete peace now and forever. You don’t have far to go to find her – she will live on in your hearts always until that day that you are reunited with her in Heaven. With much love and sympathy, Susan McQuay
Dear Gretchen and Family, There are few words to describe to you my heartfelt sorrow and sympathy for your tragic loss. May your faith grow and keep you strong. Know in your heart that your beloved Bronwyn is in God’s Loving Care. With Love, Linda & Stephen Hammond
I was a classmate of Bronwyn’s from 7th grade through 12th. We were both in the band, so we spent a lot of time together over the years. We were friends, but I can’t say that I knew her well. I respected her. My parents remember her from band as well, and were so saddened to find her lovely face in the paper. We are so sorry to hear she has passed. I pray that she had found happiness in her life and people that truly understood her. I will always remember her unique personality.
We are all deeply, deeply saddened by Bronwyn’s tragic passing, before she had begun to live, and our hearts go out to all of you at this time of great sorrow and grief for the entire family. We shall always remember Bronwyn as the bright and engaging, and very likeable, little girl who befriended our son, Michael, and taught him how to use the swing in our back garden, and played wih him as a child. You have all lost a beloved daughter and sister, taken from you long before her time, and we can imagine how great and profound your own grief. Know that we, too, all feel diminished by her loss. May God bless and keep her in His loving care, always. George, Geeta, and Michael
Tom and Kathleen, my deepest sympathies on your profound and tragic loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I miss Bronwyn. It’s the little things remind me of her. Though our friendship was estranged over the past ten years I am glad that we were able to reconnect and become good friends again. If only over the phone. Leslie Melanson (Ferguson)
HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY BRONWYN!! I love you and miss you with all my heart. Your loving big sister, Kate
Happy 31st Birthday Bronwyn!! I am sorry justice was not done for you, you deserved better. You were my best friend, and always will be. I miss you more than ever. And I still love you with all my heart. Love, Your Big Sis Kate
Hey Baby Sis……..Happy Birthday Bronwyn. We all miss you, I miss you, oh-so much. We did the best we could for you at the trial and I wish Virgil would have gotten life….I am sorry and wish I/we could have done more. I wish we were blowing out candles together… I will love you always and forever… Your Big Brother Timmy….xoxoxox
It’s hard to believe that you would have been thirty-one today if you had lived. I wonder how you would have liked being “thirty-something!” We miss you, Bronwyn, even though we know your spirit is with us — but, I wish I could give you a hug right now in person. Like Timmy said, we did the best we could for you at the trial but we know that you have bigger and better things to be concerned about. We will try to go on with our lives and hold on to our wonderful memories of you. Happy birthday, baby sis. Love, Gretchen
To our dearest little girl: Bronwyn, you have been gone from us for over two years and are missed every bit as much now as on the day you departed. The person who ended your life has been tried, convicted, sentenced, and will spend several years in jail for his crime; but it is not nearly enough for his betrayal of your love and trust, and for the hurt he has caused you and your family. We love you and miss you, and cherish each and every memory we have of the short time you were here with us. Your Mom and I, Kate, Maggie, and Scott are looking forward to visiting you over Christmas at your home in Ireland. — Mom & Dad
