Dearest Terry,Jackie, Eddie,Sammy and Sadie,

We were so saddened to hear of your mother's death. She always greeted us with a huge hug and smile. The world is filled with a little less laughter without her.

Hey guys, it was with deep sadness that I received the message yesterday of Cath's passing. She was more than a marvelous and loving friend to my family. She was an amazing lady that has brought a smile to my face countless times over the years with just the thought of her. The thoughts would bring up some memory over the past 33 years that would lead to the memory of her sparkling eyes that were there literally every time I saw her. Cathy's support of Roseanne through good and very challenging times is something that is rare and certainly non-existant in most people's lives. I have been blessed to know her and all of you and it is something that I have thought about many times over the years. God bless all of you.

I do take some solace in knowing that Ed had a nice St. Patty's day this year with Cathy joining the party that he has had with Mary Lou, Roseanne and others the past few.

See you tomorrow.

Love, Pat Shelley, Kyle, Drew and Shane.
