I used to know Pat at EHS where we ate lunch together. She was a great friend and I'm so sorry for your loss. May the peace of God comfort you all.

Tom, Erin, Tillie and I are so sorry to hear about your terrible loss. We have only got back as a family the last few years and the short time we got to know Pat, we instantly fell in love with her. Tillie and I both regret we can not get up to Rochester to be with you when you both need family and friends at this time. But be assured your presence is in our hearts and prayers for both of you and for Pat. We love you, Tony and Tillie

Dear Tom and Erin. I've known Patty for such a long time. Since kindergarten when we were snowflakes in the school play and got the pompoms on our wrists twisted together. We went through east and then became very good friends at Mcc. She was always so much fun. I will miss her.

Tom and Erin, My thoughts and prayers are with you. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. Donna Holman

Miss Pat, our love goes out to you and your family. We loved you as our own and will take care of Mr. Tom and Aunt Erin. I enjoyed every minute with you in the gardens and although you thought highly of my work, it was the work of God to create you that was truly inspired. I pray for your peace in Gods hands. We willl never forget you and remember that you were a kind gift to us. Tom and Erin, you are always welcome. We learned to love a neighbor and that is devine intervention. All our love.

Tom and Erin, you along with Pat fought a long and courageous battle. Now it's time for Pat to rest in peace. I met Pat once during a bad snow storm in Endicott while her and Tom were having car problems. I will never forget how positve Pat was through the whole ordeal. All I could think was "what a great person". I feel so sad for you Tom as I know how bad it hurt you to see your loving wife go through such hell. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Sincerely, Mike

To the Bonafede family.
I did not know Patricia but do know John from my Air Force days and Rosalie who was my 7th grade school teacher. I am so sorry for your loss.
Knowing She is in the Lords hands and suffering is no more will bring you peace.
Respectfully,
Jim Kent.. [email protected]
