Dearest Patty, Tina and families,

We share your loss and hope you know how treasured are our memories of your mother. We are stunned - her zest for life blinded us to her advancing age; we will always remember her laughter and wit. We know that your mom and dad are enjoying a good laugh with our mom and dad, and that they'll all be waiting for us to join the party. We wish we could be there with you in person, but we are definitely there with you in spirit. You are in our thoughts, and our prayers.

May God bring you comfort and may your memories bring you much solace.

Much love,
Joe Perkins

Patty and family. Sorry to hear of your loss. I am blessed to have been touched by your mothers warmth and kindness through her children. I have many memories and my own mother has told me many stories of how Patty would take care of me when I was a young boy. So for these wonderful memories I thank your mother Mary for raising wonderful children.
Love the Gorman's,
John and Mary, Gannon,Kelly and Brooke

Dear Patty,Tina, Tricia and family,
We have such wonderful memories of your dear mother. We knew when she was around our spirits would be lifted with her humor and gift of telling a joke. She was a great lady and friend. She will always be with you in spirit!

I remember as a boy Eleanor used to let us swim in her pool and as we got older she would do the famous coin in a bag trick. Now many years have passed but I always had a special place in my heart for Eleanor. The world will not be the same now that she has passed but I'm sure she is putting a smile on Gods face
