My condolences to both families..the Tierney's and the Pulasky's. I grew up with the Pulasky's and remember Pat well. We went to St. Joe's together...I remember her being 1-2 years ahead of me...I graduated in the Class of 1962, but we all hung around together. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. RIP, Pat!
