No words can express losing you. I will always remember our lives growing up on Church Street. The visits to Florida. You earned your wings. Fly high. Love you forever your sister Pat.

I remember staying in Florida for a summer with Betty (My Nana) and when I tell you "Comedy" Betty was pure comedy and I feel that was pure special and one of the many characteristics that made her my favorite :)
