Aunt Pat was a kind and generous soul. Always smiling and genuinely glad to you. Her strength of spirit was evidenced repeatedly. She fought long and hard and deserves the eternal rest and peace she has achieved. I’m sure she, Elaine and Brenda have been rejoicing since being reunited. Love and support to Ray, Joyce, Jenny and the rest of the family.
Nanny Pat will be dearly missed. She was a wonderful woman and a true blessing to all that new her. She was not related, but we consider you all a part of our family. We are here if you need us for anything and our prayers are with you in this time. We love all of you dearly.
Dear Ray and Joyce and everyone else in Pat’s family, what a wonderful reunion has taken place in heaven! I know you all are sad right now,I feel your pain.What a exceptional person Pat was,I knew her for 35 yrs and I honestly never heard her say a bad word about anyone,and she didn’t like to hear anyone else do that either.I loved to go to her house it was so cozy and warm,you always felt welcome and there was always something to eat,and before she got sick she was one good cook.She lived her life like the christian she was.I will always remember her sweet voice.I went to her bedside after Brenda passed away and she was consoling me,trying to make my pain easier.She always was trying to help someone else.I will miss her but I know she is at peace now and not in pain.I love you all and always will.You have my deepest sympathy.
