"It?s hard to put into words how I feel about Aunt Pat?s passing. Of course the natural emotions of loss and nostalgia are present, but there?s something else. There is a sense of a loss to the last link to the generation of family that came before us. My favorite memories of Pat are of her constant smile and ever present sense of humor. So many memories of holiday meals, family gatherings, just dropping by with my parents for coffee and conversation. So many fond memories, she was like another mother. I sincerely miss her. Our condolences to Robert, you brought happiness and completeness into her life. Thank you."
