Michelle and Pat, Your love for your mother is so evident by the care you gave her, I am sure she was so thankful and proud of you. My thoughts are with you as you continue with loving care to your Dad and deal with your sorrow of the loss of your Mom. Warmly, Tish and Bill, Kevin and Keara

Pat and Michelle, It was good to visit with you, your Mom and Leo. To her last day she was gracious and kind, wanting to have a meal with us. She reminded me of my own mother...., strong, selfless, and valiant in her suffering. She looked beautiful and at peace. And Leo, who can capture Leo!!! He made us laugh all day. He is so witty and sharp. We all commented on the way home how much fun he was...and he lightened the day. We are thinking of you and praying for Leo, he'll miss her so. You took such good and loving care of your mother and of Leo too....God Bless you and take care of yourselves as well.
