Pat, It can´t be but 16 years since you left us. It doesn´t get any easier. I miss you and talk to you often. Love forever.
Your older sister Judy.

Pat,
I think of you and talk to you often. Sixteens years since you left us. As someone told me, "We don´t get over losing a spouse; we get through it." It´s the same for a sister. We three shared so much joy together. I have so many memories when we lived together in Aurora, in Harvey and in Princeton. Love you forever!
Your older (by two years) sister,
Judy

Aunt Pat. It´s been some time. Hope your days are peaceful, fun, and full of humor-just the way you liked to live on this side of things. Say hi to Forrest. Remembering you this week.

Mom -
It has been almost 14 years since you left this Earth. Somedays it feels like yesterday and somedays it feels like it has been forever! I still think of you everyday and will miss you always! Even after all this time, you are the first one that I want to talk to when something good or not so good happens in my life. You took a part of my heart when you left us that day and I know one day, it will be whole again when we are together. LOVE YOU - Teri Ann

It's been almost a year now since you left. So many tears have been shed since your leaving. We know in our minds that you are better off but in our hearts we didn't and don't want to let you go. I was in Paris when you departed so each time I see the Eiffel Tower on TV or in a magazine the tears begin again. I miss your smile, your laugh, your dimples, your joy, even in your pain. I am going to begin our second year without you by remembering the wonderful, joyous times you, Pam and I had together, especially the years after Mom left us. You are always with me and in my thoughts continually. I loved you so much and still do. In your memory, I pray for and keep in touch with your three kids and Jack. You are missed and will be forever with me until we meet again in heaven.
Your sister,
Judy

Sorry to hear the death of Pat. I will let my sister, Ruth Craigmile Aagesen, know. They were in the class of 1960 together. You have my deepest sympathy.

Aunt Pat, I will miss you as we all will. However, I am glad you now feel no more pain. You will always be remembered for you laugh and great sense of humor.

Aunt Pat, I'll always remember you with a smile on your face, dimples galore, and a husky chuckle. I'm glad your body is no longer giving you pain but sorry that you're gone from us--especially your kids and your sisters. You will be missed, but enjoy your new location. Carol

Grandma,
I miss you lots, but I know that you are in a better place now and don't have to worry about nasty dialysis anymore:( I will always remember all the wonderful times we had together, like celebrating our b-day's together, working with you at the antique shop, and comparing out aqua marine jewelry. Hope that you are having a wonderful time with great-grandma. Until we meet again.... I love you, Erin Colleen
P.S. I want you to know that I am proud to tell everyone, that I got my awesome name from my one and only Grandma Pat :)

Pat was not only my aunt but she was a very good friend when I started my law enforcement career. She was always encouraging to me when I needed encouragement. She will always be loved by many and missed by all that knew her.

I'm so sorry to hear of Pat's passing. I am so thankful that we were all able to get together a couple of years ago and spend some time with each other. My heart goes out to all of you!

Our utmost sympathy and prayers go out to you. We are so glad to have had the opportunity to see Pat while over in Phoenix a few years ago. This past week, Maw (Nora) has fondly recalled memories of her niece from years ago in Aurora and Waterman. She will be missed, but never forgotten. You are in our thoughts.

Dearest Pat,
You were a caring daughter, sister, mother and grandmother. You never met a stranger and accepted others without judgment.
We three sisters had an unspoken bond, especially these past 10 years. I'm so thankful for our "Sister Week" each year. We made you shop too much, but you put up with Judy & I.
You loved life to the fullest and your pain is over. May you now dance with the angels. I'll be with you again.
Love,
Your Twin, Pam

Pat was a blessing to all who knew her. She loved, laughed and cared about people. She gave of herself, her money and her possessions.
I am thankful she no longer has to go to dialysis which she hated with a passion.
It is hard to let her go at such a young age. (64) I will miss her forever. Pam and I will feel your presence at our birtheday celebration next year.
Pat, I will see you in heaven.
Her loving older sister Judy

Thank you to all who knew and loved my Mother. She was there when I took my first breath into this life and I was there when she took her last. She made me the strong loving person that I am today and will be forever missed.
I love you Mom
Your Daughter,

To
our family-
Please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of my cousin, and
your best friend, Pat. I don't know which hurts worse. Deleting a name
from my prayer list or putting it on the dearly beloved list. Pat was
descended from sturdy Scotch-Irsh stock... people who made a difference
as this country grew. Thank you, Pat for your contributions. -TATE
