Dear Pat´s family~ I met Pat 13 years ago. Since then she has become one of my closest friends. I talked to her via phone two days before she passed. Living in FL now, I was so saddened by the news. An angel came along and picked her up and took her to heaven; she was so lovely.
I will miss Pat greatly, not just by me, but many.
My thoughts are with you in this time of grief.
PS This pic was taken 2019 in her dining area. Our friend Patti and I were invited over for a wonderful brunch!

I have such good memories chatting about our children after Sunday Mass at Church of Our Lady. I am sure you have many memories which eventually crowd out the pain.

I only know Pat´s name from my mom, Mary Hurley, who became a dear friend of Pat. My mom moved to FL one year ago to be closer to family. She and Pat thankfully kept in touch and communicated often, the distance did not keep their friendship from continuing to blossom. From what I´ve heard, Pat sounds like she was an incredible woman of God, and loved others well. She will be surely missed. May the family be comforted by Jesus in this time of loss, and grief.
