I kept in touch with Pat about a year or more before her death by phone. She always would tell me she was glad I called but couldn´t stay on the phone because she didn´t have the energy to talk anymore. We were at WestCatholic together. I saw her with Helen Carr frequently before Helen passed. My Mother was from Carrigart Co.Donegal the same place as Pat´s parents. Pat was a great lady as long as I knew her and was ever so grateful to be able to stay in her home because of her daughters support. I too will and do miss her. Fran Poole
