Patricia was the best parent a son could ever ask for. She is the best person I ever knew. She is sorely missed

Mary,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. She must have been such a loving, gentle and strong woman to have had such a daughter as yourself. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Lynn and Jackie.

Dennis,



My thoughts and prayers are with you. Although I did not know your mother, I can emphasize with your loss. She must have been a fine lady to have produced a great guy like you. We miss you and will save all your work in neat little piles.
