Patricia and Jim means so much to me sitting in the kitchen having a beer with Jim and enjoying Pat's company. She was so wecoming to me and always greatest loving person to me. I was blessed to work with Jim at Mck as a counselor to students and ME to be a better teacher. What a beautiful friend Jim was and golfer. Truly blessed to have them both as what wonderful friends. Only wished I could have been there for Jim and Pat because of illness.

So sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. Pat and Jim were such great friends to my wife and me. She always knew how to bring a smile to my face! How she put up with your Dad's corney jokes I'll never know! What a great lady and great family she raised.

Dear Biddle Family, I was sorry to hear of your dear mother's death especially as the holidays approached. I know from Peg how much you all cared and shared time with her. May your holiday memories be of the happiest times with her, rather than the loss of her presence. Her loving spirit will always be with you.
Sincerely,
