Vinny & Darlene - I was so saddened to hear of Pat's passing. I have such wonderfully fond memories of your family up at Lake Shore Park. Pat's laugh was contageous and brightened every day. I remember the games of Pinnochale at Baby Beach, all the times you invited me out on your boat, the nightly games of bocci and who can forget the card games sitting around someone's table with so much friendship and laughter! Whenever I think of you all, I know I have been blessed with a wonderful childhood full of the fondest memories. Pat will be missed by all that loved her and who's lives were enriched by simply knowing her. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless

Vinny and Darlene,
I will always remember as a little girl all the fun I had at your house. Your mom had a unique way of making ordinary things so fun! Every early childhood memory I have includes you in some way. My summers at camp left an indelible print on my life and I can only hope that my own son can share a friendship with someone as we did as kids. Pat was special and always made me laugh. I am truly saddened and offer my deepest and most sincere sympathy. You are in my thoughts. With love, Lori (Scozzaro) Pilgrim and family

Patty was a very dear friend since we were in the 5th grade together. She was fun to be around, and we had many good times together. Our husbands were good friends, too. Life won't be the same without her. She will be sorely missed.
