I am very sorry.
Pat was my aunt and was a great comfort to my father, her brother, before he died. We were never close, probably because of the distance between our families.
Pat and Tom, along with my dad and his wife Betsy spent some time together vacationing before my dad passed away.
I know that it meant alot to him.
She was very blessed to have such a large family.
God Bless.
