I am very sorry for your loss! Pat was a very special women. She babysat for me occasionally and always talked proudly about her children and grandchildren and the next time you would all be together. My baby called her Pat-Pat and it stuck with all of us. She was a loyal friend and treated my kids like I imagine she would her own. She expected a certain level of behavior but often her bark was louder than her bite. She and my son had an on going sock war that both of them took great pleasure over. Pat was honest, compassionate and thoughtful and will be missed by us and many others. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. I am sorry we can't be there in person to share stories. I am sure there are so many that will bring smiles to your faces and I think that is just how Pat-Pat would like it!

Belinda, Hey there This is your cruise girl. I really enjoyed myself on the cruise and also packed everything that Mom said to pack. I have had her on my mind since I left and of course came looking hoping she was still here with us today when I reported back. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys and know that mom does not have to suffer anymore. She is now looking and watching over us. Love you and please take care.
