Pat and family,
We are sorry to learn of your mother’s passing. She was throroughly devoted to her family, and she always treated us as part of it. We will always remember the great food and friendships extended to us. While you may feel a big hole in your hearts, know that she leaves behind a loving and lasting legacy. You are in our thoughts these difficult days.
Pat so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. My prayers are with you and your family. I still remember the Christmas Day we were working New Haven Ambulance and your mother opened her home to me and fed me the most delicious meal. May she rest in peace.
