I am sorry that we cannot attend. Barb is a nurse at a nursing home and we need to protect the residents there.
I thought of Pat (and you, Bob) often, although I did not communicate that with you. I will miss her.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I have been praying for Patty every day. Now I will be praying for you.
Patty was one of the first friends I made when I started going to Sacred Heart School, and she and Mary Ann
Chernay soon became my best friends.
They made the transition to a new school so much easier for a shy little girl. I will never forget her.

Patty May was an important part of my grade school years. I started school at Sacred Heart and she and Mary Ann Chernay adopted me and made me feel at home right away. Patty invited me to spend the night and I met her wonderful family event her Grandmother who was just delightful. Patty had such an infectious laugh and wonderful smile. I was a q quiet worrier and she was such a help to me. I will never forget her.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had been praying for her every day. Now I will pray for you, her family. God bless you and help you through this difficult time.
