Mom Pat was the only Mom left after losing my mom in 2006 I will always remember her quick wit and smile and how she made me laugh. Mom will miss you dearly and will love you always!!!
I remember Pat, and offer my condolences to the family. I had lost track of her. She was a very pleasant lady and seemed never to complain even though she struggled with infirmities. She loved to sing in the church choir. Singing now in the Heavenly choir, RIP Pat???❤️?
