Aunt Patricia was a wonderful woman, and we feel privileged to have been part of her life. We have many fond memories of her and Uncle Tom, of our trip to their home back in the 70s, and of our visits with them in Texas. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We wish we could be with you; we are there in spirit.
Love, Mary and Tom, Sue and Russ, Beth and Larry, Pat and Alice, Mike and Mary

Our deepest sympathies to the entire family. Your mother/grandmother was once like a second Mom to me and I will cherish those memories forever. She was a beautiful soul inside and out. She was blessed with a beautiful family and lived a long and active life, but is now safely home with our Lord and her beloved husband. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers during these difficult times.

With love,

It is with great heart-felt sympathy that I note the passing of my dear friend Pat. I will miss her at holidays and will forever miss her good humor and companionship. I will remember our trips to Rome, England and Mexico with Pat and Tom. My prayers are with you.
