Patricia H. Preston

Pat, What wonderful friends and family we have. As this Guest Book closes, Kim, Tommy, Beverly, Jennifer, Sheila and Barb have left wonderful entries here today that will be a permanent part of this Guest Book. What loving, but sad comments. I thank them all. They continue to make this whole passing of yours and Kathy's so unbelievable. I will now print this out for a final time. Love ya! I know you are with me at all times now in spirit. The kids and I miss you so much.
Gene

Mom,

I can not even begin to tell you what my life has been like the last two months. First of all, I was so sick with my appendix and it was especially difficult because you were also sick and could not take care of me like you had done for 41 years. Of course, this was followed up by me have a kidney stone and learning of your awful fate. The loss of my dear mother was the most horrible experience of my life. I can not believe the empty feeling I have everyday now. It was my 1st...

Pat, Gene & family,
This has been a LONG & difficult month. Kath & I had 2 1/2 long and sickly years to try to prepare for last month, not knowing when that would take place and forever hopeful it wouldn't. But the inevitable happened and she, as you, are no longer suffering. And that is a good thing, but the pain and heartache that Gene & I & the families are trying to bear is VERY difficult. Luckily, we have each other& the kids& the families' heritage & resolve to get thru this. But...

My Sister Pat Was A Very Special Person

Here it is November 13, one month since Pat left us. It is still unbelieveable to me, and I am so sad. I keep thinking the phone will ring and it will be her.

We had Club last Friday, and it was just not the same without her.

Going to Church has been very difficult. She always sat near me. A week ago Sunday (All Saint's Sunday in Church) the Minister said her name along with others who passed away during the past year. It was...

Preston Family: One month ago Mom and Pat were taken from us. I can't believe it has been a month. Thank you for all your support this month. We are here for you too. They say time heals all wounds, but this is such a difficult wound to heal, I don't know if/when it will heal completely. Gene, thank you for all you have done for dad and I pray that you two will be there for each other until that wound heals. Pat, please take care of Mom. Thank you.

Dear Gene and Family,

How do we put into words, the deep loss we feel for all of you without Pat? She was the bright light in the the lives of her dear sisters, you Gene and her precious children and grandchildren. Dale called today as he is visiting in NC and told me about this wonderful guest book. We know you are all feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, but know that her love was unlimited and memories will help you heal. You will never forget and you will always feel her love...

To My Dear Sister Pat,

I don't know where to start. I am still having a hard time believing you are gone, but I know everyone else is having just as hard a time as I am. I miss you every day. My phone hardly ever rings anymore and I miss that. I wish with all my heart that it would ring now and you would be on the other end so we could talk about anything and everything. I miss our walks down by the lake, eating out, camping (or visiting each other when camping), and meeting at...

Dear Pat,
It was just one month ago this evening, October 13, 2008, 9:28 PM, that you passed away at Lifetime Care Hospice of Rochester, Hildebrandt Hospice Center, 2652 Ridgeway Avenue, Rochester, Monroe County, NY. I was there along with our family. My brother and your sisters and their spouses all came. We called Pastor Don who came and prayed with us and was so helpful. Then Tom Burger arrived and talked with us. He is such a wonderful gentleman. A group of my buddies from the...

I was very blessed to have you as my sister-in-law for what now seems a very short time. You made such a big difference in all of our lives. We thank God for your life and ask him now to help us to go on without you.
