Pat was a great woman. I have fond memories of her and your dad when they came into the bar on 63rd St. She was a good friend to my mom & dad and I am sure there are a few of the old gang having a great craic. I know your memories of her will bring you comfort and smiles. Thoughts and prayers to you all.

Sorry to learn of Pat's departing to the God in whom she hoped.
Will remember her at the 0930 Mass at St Clare's this Sunday where all of you once worshipped. Perhaps I'll see you there.

Pat was a wonderful person. I am so glad I had the oppourtunity to know her. I looked forward going to work everyday to work zone 6 side by side with her. I missed her when she retired. Sometimes it felt like she didn't retire because she had her police scanner on at home & listened to what was going on. I tried to coax her to come back because I think she knew more what was going on at home than me sitting there dispatching! I smile when I think of Pat because I think of the good times at 911 with her.

Mike, Tom & Jack
We are very sorry for Pat passing away, She was a great lady, and will be missed by all.


TO MY FAMILY

My Eyes are closed;
My heart is quiet
My life is in stillness.

Yet will I not always see you?
And always listen to you?

You have always been my treasure, my hope.
my promise.

Your life has been mine, my life has been yours.

Should it be different now?

Is not your life still much of my life?
Is not your love still much of my love?
Could I ever grow tired of your joys and celebrations;
Could I ever turn away from your sufferings and loneliness?
Would you mind if I still smile at your foolishness?

Remember, I am your Mother.
If I have failed you... then your sorrow would be long.
If I neglected you... your suffering would be unbearable.

But from the moment of your life to the moment of my death
I have given you strength;
I have given you warmth;
I have given you peace.

I know you won't forget me...but I want to be remembered
most of all in the love you share with each other and with
your friends, in the love you share with the lonely and the friendless.

Come let us celebrate together our life's work...
all those priceless moments spent together

Come let us celebrate your life and mine.
