Pat Mikes helped bring 4 wonderful sons into the world. We miss seeing them.
We loved Jimmy and miss his "love of the game"-he just could not get the jist of beating me in jarts!
Pat was a very detailed and loveable person with whom we enjoyed many, many laughs and good times especially in their home as we were raising our children. Though our times are different, PAT & jIMMY WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR FONDEST MEMORIES. We offer The Holy Sacrifice of the MASS for each of them always. RIP.
