My sincerest apologies to all of those who knew my Mom, Pat, and who would have liked to attend her service.Unfortunately there was some
confusion with the printing of Moms obituary. It was to be in
Thursday's Eagle but it never made it until Saturday's issue. Please
know that it was a beautiful service presided over by my oldest son
Matthew, Pat's grandson. I know she was looking down at us from heaven,
so proud of him, and joyous that so many of her friends and family were
there. A celebration of life was had after the service with food and
music and people she loved, a real Irish sending off, just as Mom would
have wanted it. St Patrick's Day was a very special holiday to Mom
and it was fitting the her passing would be at this time of year. She
was loved by many and will be sadly missed. She was not only my Mom but
my best friend and my heart is heavy with the loss of this beautiful
lovely soul. May God Bless you all. Sharon Bruso
