Dear Scott, Laurie and Family,
I am very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. It seems like yesterday I was working beside her at Susan’s Hallmark. I always remember how kind she was and had such a great smile. My sincere condolences.
Though she is gone from this earth, she will remain forever in my heart. Thank you “Mom” for being the best mother-in-law anyone could ever be blessed to have. I will cherish our memories all the days of my life and will miss you always.
Many miles keep us far apart, but they cannot stop the fond memories and love I have for Pat. I was so happy this past summer I had an opportunity to visit Pat on my vacation in the USA. I always considered Pat as a Sister rather than a sister in law and I always used to give her “Sister” cards on the holidays. Eric and the kids please stay strong and remember your Mom’s strong faith in God. She is with him now watching you. When I heard of Pat’s passing I could only think to post my thoughts on Facebook:
My Siter in Law (sister) Pat Bisighini passed away today in Hamden, CT. She was a very sweet, caring, loving and religious person. She would never hurt anyone and was always a mediator in feuds. My brother Eric was very lucky guy to have such a wonderful woman by his side all these years. After my mother died, she had my father and I over for dinner every Monday night, she was always concerned for others. She was a very neat person and kept her house meticulous. She was also a very loving Mom, she made sure her kids toed the line. I will always remember her bight and radiant smile. I will miss you and love you very much Pat….may you rest in Heaven and join your Dad and Mom and Mine…God Bless You Pat….
Dear Scott and the Bisighini, we are so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Dear Laurie, Scott and the Bisghini Family. I am just hearing about your mom’s passing and wanted to express to you my sincere sympathy. Even though it was long ago I had the pleasure of working for your family at Susan’s, it seems like yesterday that I can still see your mom’s kind smile and hear her soft spoken voice. She was such a nice woman and was truly admired. Many blessings to you.

Pat will be dearly missed, I always remember her soft voice and pleasant smile. Pat and Eric were a tremendous support to my parents(Walter & Helen Looney) when they were in need, bringing food and of course the Sunday afternoon visits to my Dad!
My deepest sympathies to Eric and the kids, EJ, Laurie, Tom & Scott
Dear Tom, Robin & the entire Bisighini Family, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear Mom, wife & grandmother. Mrs. Bisighini was a wonderful, loving person who cherished her family deeply. She lives on in all of your hearts & will be watching over you always. You were all truly blessed to have such a wonderful woman in your lives!
My Mom spread sunshine to all those who knew her, and was my hero in terms of being an extraordinary woman who always saw the good in everyone. Her radiant smile and brilliant eyes could light up a room, and her caring and compassion left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She’s forever in my heart and now at peace again with God and her predeceased loved ones. Love you Mom.
Dear Scott & the Bisighini,
We are so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. We extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I have such fond memories of Pat from Farber’s Pharmacy, summers, and allowing me to play tennis with Eric.
Thinking of you all during this sad time. With sincere sympathy. Robyn
Laurie,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
