It's me again mama. I watch and I watch, but yet, I'm unable to see. It's been a tough year, mom. I'm glad you didn't have to see my mistake, and my injury...it would have hurt you terribly. But I sure could have used your arms around me. I love you, mom. I miss you so much I sometimes think I can't stand it. I hope you're watching over us... Our family is whole again....she's back...Melinda is back. And we are now a complete family, less our beautiful ma. You'd be over the moon. Perhaps you are. God, I miss you Mom. Love you always.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Pat was a loving, kind person who knew no strangers. She had so much love and pride for her family and had such a gift of making everyone feel welcome in her home. I always enjoyed visiting with Pat and I will miss her until the day I see her again. May God give you, Pat's family, peace. Rest in peace my friend.

Pat was a wonderful woman, and a second Mom to me. She had a smile that could light up a room and a laugh that will forever be a part of my memories. Growing up, every time I was there, someone was stopping over for coffee and a chat. I have such fond memories of Pat and her brothers and sisters all together telling stories. Good times, great memories. Thanks Pat for your love and friendship. You will be so dearly missed!

Venzel and cousins, my deepest sympathy to you. Early memories from the60's & 70's are wonderful, but I also treasure rare visits with Aunt Pat in the last couple decades - I believe the last time was 2008 in June. Pat made me feel good to be there,
God's Peace to you Nephew Mitch
