Dear family & friends of Pat, what a tremendous loss. My deepest sympathies to you. Pat was a joy & a delight. She was a boss, a neighbor, & a friend to me for many years. She was a fabulous nurse with deep compassion & understanding. Her home grown tomatoes were legendary. Her soups & baked apple goody were amazing! I am so sad that has passed, but find comfort in knowing she in Heaven with her Ken & son. Hugs to all of you!! Prayers for strength & comfort & grace. Karen.
Aunt Pat was special to our family and we are going to miss her very much. Remembering her and Uncle Ken and all the wonderful visits so many years ago. I know she is happy today with him and Brian and we will all be together for a really big family reunion someday. Our prayers are for David and all the family and friends she leaves behind.
We will miss our Aunt Pat. Our deepest heart felt sympathies to the family. The last time I saw Aunt Pat was at the reunion several years age in Ohio County. I will never forget the grin she wore stepping from her car. Some day we hope to have another reunion were we can all meet again. Until then we love our family near and far.
