Kathy:
We didn't get to talk too much at the wake but I now want to tell you that your mother was one of the sweetest, smartest and kindest women I had ever met, and boy, such a great card player!. One of the few people who could count the cards being played or were played! My thoughts of her go way back to when she was first started dating your father and that goes back many years. I was really saddened by her loss and wanted to express to you how great a woman she was. I am sorry I couldn't make the funeral but my hyperbaric treatment was already scheduled for monday morning but my thoughts and prayers were with you all. My best to you and your family and of course to Uncle Leo. It's funny I was thinking of your father this weekend when i was in NH, I still have the original sign to "here we is" that Aunt Peggy gave me that I keep in my room in NH, and if you don't know what that is ask your father. If you need anything don't hesitate to call. She will be surely missed but I am sure she is having fun with my father upstairs :) They are probably having lunch together. He always liked Aunt Pat too!

I was quite saddened when I heard of Pat's passing. I grew up in the house next to her's and was always at her house playing in the back yard with Lee (often staying for dinner). She also helped my mother out a lot driving me to school even though Lee went to a different school. She was a very generous and patient lady and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her, Leo, Kathy, Lee and the rest of the family.

Sincerely,
Heather Brady
