Bob, I am so sorry to hear about Patsy. Visiting you both in Dorchester as a kid is just etched permanently in my brain...I have never said as many Rosaries in my life again...but I'll say a special one today for Pat. Stay well...know that all of you "Old Timers" from years gone by are in my thoughts. I'm glad I still have some good memories to look back on.
