Dear Pat,
Driving to work today I was thinking of you and also what a dismal day with all the gray clouds and then I looked up and saw a rainbow, not the usual kind, a rectangular patch, but a rainbow just the same. You sent me a sign that you are in heaven and happy (of that I have no doubt).
Just like your rainbow, you were not the usual kind of person. You were special and always treated me that way. I will always remember your laugh and your dry sense of humor. When I see a rainbow I will think of you and smile.
Love,
Jann(one of your god children)

I have so many, many childhood memories shared with my godmother, Pat. Her "larger than life" personality and infectious laugh endeared her to all of us who love her. You couldn't be in Pat's presence and have a bad day. I know Jim has taken her hand, and welcomed her to the reward she so deserves. Love you always.

In my youth, hearing the words, 'Big Jim and Aunt Pat' always gave me a good feeling. I was close to their son Danny growing up but they gave me an added gift. I was never with them when I didn't feel better about myself because of the love and caring they showed me. They were very loyal to my family and we would be less now if not for their companionship in this life. So I am glad that they are together again because they were two 'peas in a pod' and I still can hear their laughter sweeping through my youth. Aunt Pat I Love You and Thank You.
