Frank (and all of the DeLuca family)-
Condolences from me and my family to yours. I'm going to miss the joke or two that Pat always had whenever I came by to work at your place. My associates Vince and Grayson both send their condolences as well.

I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way....
His love is always with you
His promises are true
No matter what the tribulation
You know He will see us through
So when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Give your problems to the Lord
And God will do the rest.
Although no words of sympathy can
ease the loss you bear. Still may
you find comfort in the thought
that others care.

Dear DeLuca Family [Steven, Rowena,Courtney,Everett & Briannon.
I'm deeply so very sorry for your loss. I will truly miss Patricia [Pat] DeLuca very much indeed at St. Bernadette's church. I used to see her at either 9:00am Mass,11:00am Mass, Holy days at 7:30pm Mass & all the holidays. She was very kind to me giving me hugs, chatting with me, a wave of hello or the sign of peace when-ever we were near by. Pat was so sweet & I was so very sorry that I didn't attend the wake or the funeral. I hope that you can forgive me. If you need anything at all. I'm always there for your whole entire family. Patricia isn't in any pain & she is up in Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pat may you rest in peace now. I'll miss you my dear sweet friend but, I'll never forget you. I love you..I'll see you very soon when it's my time to leave this fine world that we know & love.
My peace & love to the whole entire DeLuca family. I'll see you soon.
If you need to talk or e-mail me you may at [email protected]
Thanks.
Your Saint Bernadette church member friend,
Kate.
Wish to contact me my number is 240-678-3623.
