Patricia Ann Keefe

Hard to believe it´s been 14 years. Miss you.

Dear Annie (and all the rest of the family),

I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I live in Oregon now and am not able to attend the funeral, but I want you to know that I thought she was a beautiful soul. She touched so many lives in our old neighborhood... I have lots of happy memories of your home and camping. She always made me feel welcome and I will be forever grateful for that. Peace to each of you - I'm sure you have so many wonderful memories to comfort you - and...

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the death of your mom. We lived next door to your parents at 4070 NE 87th for several years when they first moved to Wedgewood. We liked both your parents very much. Pat was a really sweet lady. Cherish the many wonderful memories you all must have.

Love and Prayers,

Mom we love you and will miss you. You were the greatest Mom ever, and someone to emulate.

Dear Members of the Keefe Family,
We Sisters of the Holy Names send you our prayerful sympathy as you give Patricia back to her loving Creator. May your Mother's new life in God's Presence be a deep source of peace for you all, and may you know her nearness always.

This is one of the last tapes I have of Mom in January 2011 when Ken and Michelle came for a visit with Luke and Annabelle. She is holding her great-grandson, Luke in this video.

My dear cousin Pat. Lovely, gentle, strong, delicate, soft-spoken, brave. We grew up with her, and I've known her all my life. When I was a child, I thought she was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen. I grieve for all of us.

To all of the Keefe family, Your mom was a very kind lady. She was calming, gentle and true blue.
I was a childhood friend of Dennis. I remember quite a few times with her, from everything to weekend family dinners, grocery shopping, and camping/fishing trips with Dennis and Mr./Mrs. Keefe. I never once saw her lose her temper, or even visibly upset. Yet, she was another mom with a very large family to look after.... I do not know how these parents were able to do that!!
She...
