Hi Pat... sorry to be late sending you loving thoughts in memory of your Mom. Years gone by don´t make it easier to be without your Mom. So many times I think of you kids and memories always pop up of your Mom and Aunt Nora and gatherings at your & Mikes home and sweet baby girls Mary Kate & Colleen. They were always sweet times and kind times. When you had the horrible home fire I immediate thought of Aunt Nora & your Mom. They had to have surrounded you all to get out without injury. Sending you & the whole family love & hugs.
Hope things are going well for a restoral of your home.
Love, Sheila

Pat, Mike, Mary Kate , Colleen and family, I was so saddened and shocked today to learn of the passing of Mrs. Mathews. She was such a nice lady and she so loved each of you. Her family was her life. May the love that you shared & the memories you so cherish help to comfort you. It must be especially difficult today since it is her birthday but I know she will always be with each of you in a very special way and believe that some day we will all be reunited wth those whom we loved so very much and have gone before us. May God's love and blessings be with all of you in 2008 and always. With deepest sympathy and love, Sheila

To Aunt Pats family:

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to all of you. I will always remember her quietly sitting and listening(usually with a baby on her lap), to the rest of the Mathews family talking up a storm. She was a very sweet Aunt. Carole Mathews- Gabbert
