DeBernardo Family,

It has been several weeks since hearing of Pat's death and I still have not found the words to express my sympathy. I worked with Pat at St Joe's and we shared some very happy memories and life stories. Even though we had not talked in awhile she was always in my thoughts. Many of her stories were about the men in her life (waiting for Joe to finish the bathroom, her and the boys staying home all day in their pajamas were some of the stories.)I know this is a great loss to all of you and my deepest thoughts and prayers go out to you. --- Kim Bilowith Connelly

Although I only knew Mrs. D for a short period, I have to say she was one of the sweetest and most-welcoming women I have ever met. She was always so adorable with a huge smile and her apron on. She did everything for her family. Sharing dinner with the DeBernardo family was an honor and a very fulfilled event. I will truly miss Mrs. D and her hospitality. I wish i could have known her longer but i would like her to know that she has two excellent sons who will cherish their memories of her forever. I will be by Robert's side as his friend to help him through the healing process. Rest in peace and watch over your family. I will truly miss you Mrs. D!

I will miss you dearly, Pat. You were one of the few individuals who helped shape the person I am today. Thank you for believing in me; for trusting that I would do well and grow in my career. I have wonderful coworkers/friends who I enjoy seeing everyday; a job I am happy to go to every morning--all because you gave me that start. Thank you, Pat. Rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
