To Norma Jean and family,
It has been my great privilege to have known Pat as a fellow parishioner, Brother Knight, and friend. The one thing I am sure of, is Heaven just got to be a better place to be! May God rest his soul.

Norma, Kim, Pat & Gina and Aunt Lu-
We are so very sorry to hear this news about Pat. Such a wonderful man in so many ways. Even though he teased me endless, I loved every minute of it. I still talk about him falling asleep in his chair faster than anyone I have ever seen. I vividly remember stomping on grapes to make wine and he never greeted me without throwing a Pooh in there! Even after I was married and had our boys. We all grew up in such an amazing and close knit group. We were all one big Catholic Italian Family. Times have changed but I count my lucky stars that we were all so lucky to have all of these special families in our lives. I can't imagine the pain all of you are feeling right now. My heart is breaking for all of you. I feel so blessed to have been a small part of the life of your husband and Dad, of all of you as well. Praying for Pat and all of you.
Love, Gina Maggio Siddens and family.
