Susan, Maureen and Brian: I never had the opportunity meeting you nor Matthew and Kaleigh, but I feel like knowing you all along because your mom spoke about you so often and so dearly. You were her world, happiness, pride, comfort and so much more. I met your mom years ago through work; through our collaboration which included other women as well, we developed a tight working relationship which led to an enjoyable longtime friendship. She was articulate, funny and witted. She was effective and committed in her work with helping others better their lives. Each time we got together for dinner at a restaurant, we had fun! Her laughter was contagious to the point of tears; the wait staff and surrounding tables laughed along with us. I wish everyone could have had an opportunity in meeting someone like your mom. I feel fortunate to have had her in my life and her absence will be sorely missed. In my heart, I feel that she’s in a place where there’s no pain and suffering; knowing her spirit, she’d look down extending her comfort back to us. Although we’ll miss her presence, we may take that comfort for having her in our lives. And I extend that comfort to you all. My sincere condolences for your loss!

So sorry to hear of Pat passing away. She was a very nice person . I had the pleasure of knowing her from LaSallette in Ipswich. Went to a party she threw in her home in Ipswich. Again, I am very sorry about her demise but I am sure she is resting in peace in heaven now.
