Good morning and thank you all for coming to this Memorial Service for our mother.

Pat and family,

I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. I couldn't attend her memorial mass due to my teaching obligations.

She gave many hours volunteering her time to Skaneateles organizations. She was an inspiration to so many people in our community. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Packy,

The article in the paper was a beautiful tribute to an incredible lady, "Our Miss Gibbons," your lovely Mom.

I can not recall ever seeing her without her warm Irish smile. It was like she put it on first thing in the morning and "never left home without it." And if her smile wasn't enough to charm people, she would laugh her hearty laugh and warm up a room.

And as for you, Packy, I know that you will miss her every moment of everyday. But no...
