I Miss You Every Day.

I will miss You forever

A great lady missed by all

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Genardo family during this tough time. Pat was a wonderful and kind person, who made you feel like family the first time she met you. We greatly appreciated her compassion after the loss of our mother. Pat's accomplishment in this world and her commitment to the care of the disabled and people in need should be applauded. Rest in Peace Pat Genardo. You will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Genardo family. I only had the pleasure of spending one day with Pat. Pat is an inspiring woman who has done so much. I am proud to be a nurse at Elite Care Management.

My prayer is that you all will gain strength during this difficult time as you reflect on the life and love she shared with each of you.

My deepest sympathy,
Deb Fitzgerald

You will never be forgotten. I already...

It was if no time had passed and of course, was a great time. We're so glad we got to see your mom and everyone, Jor. She was a kind and fun lady. I can picture all of our moms talking and laughing while...
