I am most grateful to have had the opportunity to carry our cousin, Patricia, and each of you in my heart every day since Chuckand Joy called Nancy and Johnny in Massachusetts to let us know (as was my sister, Marilyn) - not an hour went by during those last weeks that I did not think of her and dedicate whatever I was doing to her - my heart remains full for her and for all of you - and of childhood memories of our beautiful cousin.

To Jane, John, Chuck, Mike and the entire family. I am very sorry for your loss. My Great Aunt BeBe was a very positve lady, she always had great energy. I feel very fortunate to have seen Aunt BeBe this July while I was in Vermont visiting. The day I saw her she was vibrant and smiling. She wanted to talk about family. Recently a co-worker had a party with lots of food an I said "these baked beans are good but they aren't as good as my Great Aunt BeBe's!!" I cherish these fond memories of her and am blessed to be part of her family that she loved so dearly.
Her Great-Nephew,
Chris Higgins

Mike,
I only met Pat once. It was after Mass at St. Catherine's in Mendon. She had a tremendous presence and although I did not get to know her, I know of her from what I know of you and your family. She was quite a woman and although your loss is deep, Heaven is rejoicing at her return. Our prayers are with her and you all.
