Dear Fr. Pat and Family,
We are deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved Mom. Your Mom's presence in our church during her visit here showed how a mother cares and loves for her son who she is proud of. May God give you and your family comfort and peace during this time of your grief. May God shine His eternal light upon her and may she rest in peace, God Bless.
Love and prayers.
Louie, Annie and Cristy

Fr. Pat
You are in our thoughts and prayers as you go from day to day remembering all the love,compassion and laughter your Mother bestowed upon you.
Ron and I met Sue a couple of times at church and we could tell that she was proud of you. She told how you knew you wanted to become a priest at a very young age. One day when she was sitting next to us at mass, she pointed to you, and with a big smile on her face she said, "thats my son.". Yes you could tell she was proud of you. How lucky you were to have such a sweet Mother.
I believe She is now in heaven watching over you saying "there he is, thats my son".
May the Lord bless and comfort you.

Fr. Pat,
Tim and I are so very sorry for the loss of your beloved mother. Our prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
We smile when we remember how your mom's eyes lit up as she told us that you were her son, "the priest", and how very proud she was of you.
The warmth and kindness she shared with us on her visits to St. Peter & St. Paul will be missed. May the Lord comfort you in your loss and please know that your parish family is here for you.

Fr. Pat,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I know how much a mother's love can mean to a child, no matter what age that child may be. You were blessed to have your mom for such a long time. Some of us aren't as fortunate to have our moms with us any longer. Just always remember that no matter what happens or how many people we lose in our lives, you are a child of God who loves you. I'm sure your mother is watching over you and will always be in your heart until the day when you can be reunited. May God bless you and your family and show you His Grace during your time of loss.
In Jesus name,

Fr. Pat, I know the joy and sadness you must be experiencing right now. As prepared as we try to be there is always that thought wishing we had one more moment with mom. The joy of knowing she is truly in God's resting hands is what we rely on. My heart is with you and my prayers remain. God Bless.

Dear Father Pat, Elbert and I send you and your entire family our sincere condolences upon the passing of your mother. I was so in awe of her when she visited here. Thanks for sharing her with us during those months.

Dear Father Pat,
Charet and I do share your loss and grief with your family, over your mother's passing.
Always with her ready smiles, she would give us her undivided attention in our conversations with her, concerned more about ourselves and our families. We could feel the warmth of her love for her family and could see how proud she was of her son, the priest and pastor of our parish community. We could see in her heart how she considers our community as the extension of her own family. She will be lovingly missed.
We offer to her and to you Father Pat our love and prayers:
We thank you dear Lord for the gift of your servant, Sue Kirsch, who has given so much of herself to her family and to others like us, whose lives she has touched so dearly as we prayerfully rejoice with her in her journey to be reunited with you in the eternal bliss of your kingdom. Amen.
Always in Jesus,
Donnie and Charet & family

Hi Father Pat
My heart goes out to yours. I know you loved your mother deeply. You showed her
in so many ways when she came to stay with
you in California. I'm sure God will bless you
for your faithfullness to her. You can know for sure that she will be with you always and she will lift you up and comfort you
when you are lonely. I'm sure that God
will continue to listen to her prayers for you. She loved you so beautifully on earth how much better she will love you in God's Presence. Peace and comfort to you and your family. In Gods Love

Dear Father Pat-
It is with fondness we remember spending time with your Mother during Mass and she was so proud of her son presiding over Mass. She very sweetly and tenderly kept holding Olivia's hand. Thank you for your example of love and respect for your Mother. May our Blessed Mother guide her to God's paradise and may you feel peace in knowing that she has been received with open arms.

Dear Fr. Pat,
I shall always remember the smile and pat on the hand your mom gave me the Sunday I sat with her during mass whispering, "That's my son, the priest." How proud she was that you were saying the mass.
God Bless you Father, Linda

Dearest Fr. Pat and Family,
We were saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She was a wonderful lady (we found out very quickly where Fr. Pat gets his sense of humor!) and we will always remember her with fondness.
Fr. Pat, your love and respect for your mother was a reminder to us all that our families are a gift from God, to be cherished. We thank you and Sue for such a beautiful illustration of Christ's love in action.

Dear Father Pat And Family,
Peace be with you.
Thank you so much for sharing the life of your mom Sue with us. Sylvia and I had the honor of sitting next to her a few times during Mass at St. Peter and St. Paul and she would always say hello with a smile and a hug. You could just feel the love and compassion she had for others. Her example of hospitality would leave Sylvia and I feeling as if we were welcomed guest even though she was visiting us at our parish. We will truly miss her!
Heaven has gained another angel...Susan B. Kirsch, pray for us.
We love you, God Bless,

To Father Pat and the entire Kirsch family.
We were so blessed to have your mom come visit with us, here in Alta loma, for so many years. She was so proud of her son, the priest.
It was always so evident that her faith was strong even though during the last few years she could not vocalize it.
She was living proof that our faith is practiced, not through our intellect, but through our heart. This she did very well. We loved her the minute we met her and her memory will always be kept alive in our hearts.
Godspeed Sue!!
We love you,
In Jesus & Mary,
Danny & Vicki Centurioni

We miss you, Grandma. Despite the sadness of passing and eternal rest, we are happy for you. Happy that you are in His love, peace and joy! You are reunited with Grandpa Clyde (and his now celestial TV/ radio repair shop and ham radio in the heavens) and your "Mommy and Daddy" and all of your family and friends from Hastings and the Northern Cambria area. You've lived a long, full life. We will miss the Thanksgiving dinners, sleepovers and all of your wonderful stories but will never forget you. Thank you and rest in eternal peace.

She was Clyde's wife. She always told me to call her Sue. I only knew her a few years. she would sit in the bus right behind me and tell me about the old days, in Hastings, and the nuns and her Aunt Mame and the Easly kids, and the nuns. I love Sue and I know she will live forever in Heaven. She was a strong person on earth.
