I am so sad to learn of Patti's passing. I want to celebrate her wonderful spirit and life. In particular, I am so grateful to her loving and dedicated work on the genealogy of the Lambe and O'Donnell families. She created a tree that I use and share and she has kept alive memories and our family history for years to come. Patti also maintained relationships with her Tipperary Lambe roots and family. I am grateful for these, adnmittedly brief, glimpses into her life and send my deepest sympathy to all her family and friends. To honor her and help maintain the connections she helped to keep and grow, I would love to connect with another O'Donnell and keep the wonderful history we share.
With deepest sympathy, Paul Lambe, [email protected]
