Pat -

I'm so sorry about your Mom. If I wasn't out of town I would be attending the services. Please know that I will pray for you and your entire family. I wish I could say something quite profound, but I know words will not diminish your grieving. Just remember that you are loved and cared for by so many.

Bob, Cindy and all of the Broderick family,

Our hearts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow and loss. Your Mom was a wonderful, wonderful woman. She was the glue of your family and a rock of stability. Her work ethic, her great sense of humor and infectious laugh made her a woman to remember. I will always have the greatest respect for your Mom, Bob as she was one of the hardest working women I ever met. Remember the good times and gettin whacked with the infamous wiffle ball bat.

We love you all. Godspeed to Dorothea.

When I think of Mrs. Broderick, I will remember her as a warm and loving woman, who loved to have a good laugh and who knew how to make the best pizza ever. She was always very very nice to me. She raised a wonderful family and she should be proud of them. She was a great lady!
With much love, Kathy Gebka Smith
