We were friends of Patty and her Mother, Father and sister in Riverton, NJ from the 50's! I do not have an address to contact her sister, Alice. Alice, if you read these condolences, please know that Patty and you and your family will continue to be in out thoughts and prayers. We only learned of Patty's death when our Christmas card to her was returned in this morning's mail. May she rest in peace.

Just learned of Pat Curran's passing. I met Pat and John in 1978 - they were dear friends. I worked with Pat at NMC. They shared many holidays with us in Northvale. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Pat's volunteer service to the Maryknoll Sisters cannot be underestimated. For years she helped us with a variety of graphic arts projects.
She was a great friend to us and we enjoyed her creativity.

Mrs. Curran was a tree care and snow plow customer of ours for many, many years. Over the years, she eventually became our friend. We will miss her very much but are comforted in the belief that she has been reunited with John and all their beloved dogs in heaven. God bless you, Pat.
