Pat this family is hurting so bad since you left. I always thought you'd be here, but now I can't tell you how much I love you and what a great big sister you were for me. Circumstances kept us from communicating for so long. I thought it would eventually work itself out, but we ran out of time. If I could go back, I would tell you that I always loved you and I know that if you knew I was in trouble, you would have protected me. You were always there for me. I'm sorry for the distance that never accomplished anything. I'll miss you Pat.. love Tom

You were the best big sister to me and all of us -I only have happy memories of you smiling and making us all feel safe. You never turned us away when we would knock on your door to ask if we could come upstairs to your room just to hang out with you and you were the perfect sister to tell anything to and always have sound advice to share to make everything okay again. I smile when I think of you and cry every time I realize I’ll never have the chance to hear your voice again. I wish I could have seen you one last time -it’s way too soon for you to have been taken from us. Love you forever sis-our family will never be complete without having you here with us!!

All I can say is that you raised me and without you I probably wouldn't have made it this far. I will definitely miss you love you and I'm sorry. Love you. Kevin

Losing you seems wrong. I can't help but feel like this wasn't God's plan to take you from this Earth when your 3 beautiful girls need you so badly, but if you were here you would tell me to keep the faith... so for you I will.There are so many things I wish I had said when you were still here with us. So many regrets that I must live with now. You were always there for me and I wish I could have been there for you when you needed me the most. The world seems empty without you in it. I will forever miss you, until we meet again. I love you always.

Rest in peace sister, you are sorely missed. You were always so smart and incredibly kind.
The family is heartbroken, but will see you again on the otherside. Miss you Pat!!
