Theresa, I did not know how much you look like your Mom till I seen this picture of her and it is amazing, you look just like her, she was a Beautiful women, and she was the same age as my Mom when I lost her, I know how hard this is and there is nothing that anyone can say or do to take the pain away, just try to remember all the good times and remember that she is not suffering any more, I am praying for all of you and I hope your Dad is doing better(health wise)
If you need anything just call me.

Bill, Teresa and "Billy",
I was so sorry to hear of Patsy's passing. I know none of the cirmcumstances but can only hope that she did not suffer. I have such fond memories of talking with Patsy as we both would show up after work to watch the boys (Todd & Larry) practice/play ball. Billy spent lots of time at our house so I naturally spoke with Patsy often. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers during this very sad time of your life. I know the two of you will take good care of your father. Warmly, Susan Jones Schneider
