Dear Mom,
Tomorrow will be 2 years since God called you home. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting at your bedside holding your hand and stoking your hair as you took your last breath. They say time heals but I am not finding that to be true. I am slowly learning to live life without you keeping all the wonderful and loving memories of you tucked away in my heart. I feel you beside me wherever I go, you are the wind beneath my wings. I believe you and Dad have reunited in Heaven and are watching over us.
Isle of You
Forever in my heart

Dearest Mom,
Tomorrow will be 2 years since God called you home. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting beside your bed holding your hand and stroking your hair as you took your last breath. They say time heals but I'm not finding that to be true. There are many wonderful, loving memories of you that will live in my heart forever.
Have I ever told you you're my hero?
Isle of View,

Hi My Soul Mate Sister, I hope you, Mom, Pat, Harry, (Sami, too)and the rest of our family and friends had a Happy Christmas in Heaven. All your girls got together for Christmas. It's not the same without you. Save a seat for me next to you. Miss you terribly.
December 28, 2013
Another Christmas has passed without you. I miss you so much words can't express my sadness. Love you, Barb

Oh my dear Pat! It's time for a " charla" as we used to say way back in Spanish class in high school! We now have to communicate from earth to heaven. I think of you so often- and you are even in my dreams sometimes! No surprise, since you were such a big part of my life! So- sending Christmas greetings and lots of love! Miss you so very much! God took you too soon! Best Friend Always, CHARLOTTE

There is no question, dear Pat, that you are much loved by all your daughters - and missed so much - especially on Mother's Day! My thoughts are with all of you - and I send my best wishes to all of you who are mothers or who act in motherly ways! I know your Mom would be so proud of all of you! The only thing we can do is live well, and cherish all the wonderful memories! Love, Charlotte

My thoughts were of you on your birthday.Ironically I received a letter from Linda on that day with a picture of us at the Pirates adventure in Orlando. We had a good time yo-ho-hoing. Love Barb
January 20, 2013
Not for a moment did I forget it was your birthday. Couldn't respond sooner as all my children were flying out to see their Dad in Wisconsin as he is not doing well - and that kept me very busy. I think of my visits to see you in NY - to lunch at the diner, a movie at the mall, dinner at a Chinese restaurant near your home etc. I so regret that you were not able to come to my home so I could show you around my town! - But I know you are here with me in spirit!! A belated Happy Birthday in heaven. Miss you so much!! Love, Charlotte

I can't believe a year has gone by since you went to heaven. It seems like yesterday and sometimes seems like forever since I was able to laugh with you and talk with you. There are so many times a thought will come and I think - let me ask Patty, she will know the answer. I hope you can hear my thoughts and prayers. Nothing can fill the hole in my heart since you went to heaven. I know you are no longer in pain and are at peace. That is what keeps me going. I miss you so much, my soul mate sister.

Happy New Year in heaven. A year ago I heard you say "Hi Rahrah" for the last time. Your voice echoes in my head constantly. I miss you so much
January 1, 2013
It's hard to say Happy New Year when we are missing our loved one so much. Can hardly believe it will be a year tomorrow since we lost this very special lady. I'd like to think that she is looking down at us and smiling at our interactions & our "postings" in this guest book. I miss her terribly and will pray for her as I always do. All we can do is be the best we can be in her loving memory! Peace and love to all the family.

Hi My Soul mate sister, I know this guest book is ending, but my love for you will never end. You are in my heart and I miss you so much. Jess and I talk about you and the wonderful times we had. I look at your picture and say Good Morning Patty, and Good Night Patty, every day. I pray that you and Mom are in God's loving arms. Save a place for me.

My thoughts have been of you all through this Christmas season.Not a day goes by that I can't believe your gone.I miss you so much and all the good times we had together. I will always love you. Rahrah

It is so hard to believe that my dear friend Pat has been gone for almost a year now. She was my dearest friend as we were growing up and we remained close friends for over 60 years, though miles and family obligations separated us. I feel her spirit has remained with me. We shared happy, joyous times and sad, difficult times. I know she is so loved by her 5 daughters, 2 sisters, and all the family. I think about her almost daily - and pray for her constantly. By remaining close to her family, I feel connected to her - so - even though this quest book is ending, I hope we will continue to stay in touch. May God bless everyone and may our loving connection to Patricia keep us close in the years ahead.

Dearest Mom,
We little knew that day that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. ~ It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. ~ You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. ~ Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again.
I miss you Mom...til we meet again.
Love you, Linda

A passage from the Bible John 14:1-3
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
We miss you and love you Aunt Pat.
Love Harry, Janel, Gianna and Noah.

I was very saddened to hear of Pat Bodolato's passing. She was a wonderful Godmother to me, always interested in my life, always remembering me on my birthday and at Christmas. She found the time to come with her husband to my wedding 11 years ago. I know that she and my Mom have had many happy times together. Their friendship certainly withstood the test of time and I am so fortunate to have known her and to have had her in my life. She will be missed. I extend my deepest sympathy to all the family.

I thought I would be sending you a card and speaking to you on the phone on this special day, your birthday! Well, the angels will have to send these loving birthday wishes to you along with this lighted candle. A monk once said that when a person dies they are no longer where they were - now they are wherever you are! So, dear Pat, you are with me in spirit, and I with you, now and always. Happy Birthday Sweetie! Miss you and love you. Your dear friend, Charlotte

Patty, I miss you terribly, and can't imagine my life without you in it. It was a comfort to be with your girls in your apartment talking about you and all the memories we have. I am home now but feel such emptiness. Jess is a God-send, especially at this time. I will keep in touch with the girls and try to bring them some comfort.

My deepest sympathy to all the family on the loss of a wonderful woman, wife, mother, sister, friend and so much more. She was a very special person - loving and kind, giving and caring -and she left us way too soon. I lost my BFF - She will always be my best friend forever. Our friendship spanned 62 years and we shared many of life's experiences mostly happy but some sad. We will miss her so much - but we know she is at peace. I am with you in spirit and sending love & hugs.
