Hi Rosemary,

So sorry to read of your mom's passing ! I know it must be a very difficult time; it is never easy losing a parent.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Pat. From 1977 to 1981 we had the pleasure of being next door neighbors of Pat and John. What a delight and what a wonderful family they raised. After 27 years we still can hear her cheery greeting. May she rest in peace.
