In 2024, we introduced Bri Candles — a brand inspired by love, memory, and the quiet power of scent.

Our daughter Bridgett passed away in 2022. One of our most cherished memories together was visiting candle shops, getting lost in the warmth of the glow and the magic of every fragrance. Those moments became the heartbeat of this brand.

Bridgett was affectionate, nurturing, and deeply empathetic. She had a heart for helping others, which led her to train as a CNA with dreams of growing in healthcare. Her life was tragically cut short due to mental health struggles — a loss that devastated our family beyond words.

Even in her final moments, Bridgett stayed true to who she was. As an organ donor, she saved three lives that day — a final, selfless act that reflected her entire spirit.

Starting Bri Candles became my way to honor her legacy and continue her mission of caring for others. While I can’t do everything, I’ve chosen to do what I can: with every candle sold, a portion of the proceeds is donated to a charity supporting teens and young adults in crisis — providing them with the resources and connections Bridgett didn’t have access to.

Bri Candles isn’t just a business. It’s a tribute. A mission. A light in memory of a beautiful soul who wanted nothing more than to help others.
