"Steve, I?m so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. I knew her briefly when you and Christopher were at Northeastern and she mentioned how proud she was of you and she loved you so much. I enjoyed my time with her. She was a lovely woman. Maureen Casorio"
"I've had the privilege of being Pat's neighbor for 17 years. She became a dear friend. I will miss chatting with her, waving to her just about every morning on my way to work, & hearing her laugh. I'm known for working on my garden in the summer heat & Pat would always pop over & remind me to take a break & stay hydrated. I have a difficult time now, looking at the side door where she'd greet her clients, because I expect to see her standing there. Rest in peace Pat, I love you. Sue Pire"
