The Griffith-Bridges Family

Hello, my name is Danielle Farese.

My beautiful friend Gail Griffith passed away suddenly on June 25, 2023. I met Gail on the soccer fields about 6 years ago when our boys started playing soccer together. Donny (my husband) and Shawn (Gail’s husband) began coaching the Harrison travel soccer team together at that time and not only built a great team but a genuine friendship.

During the last 6 years I have had the pleasure of getting to know the Bridges family very well. Gail was such a dedicated mother to her boys. She often made me laugh on the sidelines when she would cheer on the Harrison Thunder with her “KICK THE BALL!” suggestion. Gail was kind, passionate, and just an all around beautiful person. She will be deeply missed by so many.

Shawn is such a supportive father to Breyden and Jameison and has touched the lives of so many as a coach and as an educator. He and Donny often spend hours on the phone each week discussing the details of the previous game or their plans for the upcoming games. Shawn has dedicated so much of his time to helping children. He truly cares so deeply about making a difference. It is now our turn to give back.

I have organized this account to help cover the costs of Gail’s funeral and memorial services, as her passing was completely unexpected. Please feel free to donate and share. I can’t express how grateful we are for any contribution to help Shawn and the boys through this very difficult time.

Please keep the Bridges family in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️

Warmly,

Danielle Farese
