I was saddened by the passing of Mary Pat. Thinking of her brought back the fun we had working together. Though it's been a while since I have seen or spoken with her, the memories are vivid. Pete, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mary Pat I will always remember sitting next to you at work and the laughter we shared.
You always amazed me with your positive attitude toward all situations, expecially after you got sick.
You were my shining example each time my brother in-law was negative about his lung cancer. I told all my friends and family how courageous you were and I could only hope if faced with the same challenge I could be half the person you were.
I remember hearing you telling someone on the phone one day at work that you had lung cancer and I asked how they reacted. You said " as long as I make lite of it" they're ok.
I will miss you, but will always treasure the gift of your friendship.

I will always remember your smile - not only on your face - but in your eyes, your laughter, and your ability to make others laugh. I appreciated the way you viewed life and those whom you were associated with. I respect the love you gave to your sons and brothers, along with your friends, and cats. I respect your courage to deal with illness, hanging on far longer than most people are willing to do. I admire the way you prepared for Christmas, 2006. You almost made it, Kiddo. I know you were trying your best! I have memories of you, things you said, things you did, and things you hoped to do.
You, Mary Pat, a beautiful woman, who was nobody's fool. I will miss you, I already do!
