Aunt Pat,
You were, and will always be, such an important part of my life...ALWAYS there for me and my family and ALWAYS upbeat and funny. I will miss our lunches and dinners together when we would laugh so much my cheeks hurt. I have an empty place in my heart but know that one day I will see you again. I love you more than you ever could imagine.
Till then...love,

To my dear sister and her wonderful family, if my many tears could bring you back and healthy and alive again, I would cry a ocean however I know this is impossible. This is a great loss to all of us. So many years we were apart but when we were all reunited it was the thrill of my life. Words can never be expressed how much I will miss you my sister. I know you are with our Mother and brothers in time you will see my beloved husband. All of you are at rest and peaceful with no more pain and thats what keeps me going at this very sad time in my life. I love you and will never forget our wonderful times together. In Jesus name Amen
