Patricia O. Spillane

Dear Pat,
Driving to work today I was thinking of you and also what a dismal day with all the gray clouds and then I looked up and saw a rainbow, not the usual kind, a rectangular patch, but a rainbow just the same. You sent me a sign that you are in heaven and happy (of that I have no doubt).
Just like your rainbow, you were not the usual kind of person. You were special and always treated me that way. I will always remember your laugh and your dry sense of humor. When I see a rainbow...

I have so many, many childhood memories shared with my godmother, Pat. Her "larger than life" personality and infectious laugh endeared her to all of us who love her. You couldn't be in Pat's presence and have a bad day. I know Jim has taken her hand, and welcomed her to the reward she so deserves. Love you always.

In my youth, hearing the words, 'Big Jim and Aunt Pat' always gave me a good feeling. I was close to their son Danny growing up but they gave me an added gift. I was never with them when I didn't feel better about myself because of the love and caring they showed me. They were very loyal to my family and we would be less now if not for their companionship in this life. So I am glad that they are together again because they were two 'peas in a pod' and I still can hear their laughter sweeping...

Dear Lyd,
I am always here for you.

I worked with Pat at Rochester Tele. We also back then paled around together. I will always remember her wonderful laughter and wit. I an so sorry to hear of her passing.

I have never known anyone more warm, loving or joyous! I know her as Aunt Pat and she means only happy memories to me. Thank you Aunt Pat for your quality,your love and your awesome hugs!! My condolences to all her family. Lydia we all know what a light you have been to her!! Dan I'm so grateful we had that night together last year.
