Patrick, I am so deeply sorry as we just now (Sunday) learned of your loss. Anne Marie was my most special cousin. Though we were exactly six years apart, she was always like a little sister to me at the many holiday dinners we shared as kids, about which we always remenised on email at holiday time. As Gerard Vincient Shields' godson we had a special connection. My heart goes out to you at the loss of your wonderful wife of so many years. We will keep you, Anne Marie and your family in our prayers.
Gerry & Bonnie Shields
