Dear Jeanne and Family,

My prayers and my thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Although I only saw Pat at our Quigley reunion events, I always enjoyed visiting with him. He was easy to be with. So many have attested to his kindness in their remarks. I'm sure you are very proud of his accompolishments in life. We know that his greatest accomplishment is now being with God. Let that be our consolation.

Jeanne,
You probably don't remember me but we went to school together. My name is Theresa Quinn and my cousin Patty Clarke was a Chicago cop for more than 25 years and sent this on to me. You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband. I know that words do not help that much at this time, just know that our prayes are with you now.
