A beautiful feisty Lady whose passing will leave a hole in all our lives. We still remember the lively debates between Aunt Pat and Dad Slubowski. If it wasn't for Aunt Pat, our kids wouldn't know a lot of their relatives.

She will live in all of our hearts forever! She was so special in every way! To her family I know we will all never forget those two words she told us every time she saw us or spoke to us "Love You"!
May you "Rest in Peace" and until we see each other again I will always "Love You Godma"!
