Aunt Pat, you left to soon but Dad always told me to never ask why...so I'm not. I am glad I got to talk to you and say I love you before you passed. I may not have you here to hug but I know I have another Angel looking out for me. You and Dad behave up there and give dad and Grandma big HUG and KISS from me. I know we will all see each other again and till then watch over all of us. Love Marie, Joseph, Darrin

We ar very sorry cousins at the passing of your sister Pat . please let The Garcias know if we can be of assistance to you or to her children. I last saw Pat this past summer coming out of the Sox game . her laughter and smile lit up the dark sky and then my wife lorissa ran into her at the dollar store and she came home and said your cousin pat is such a nice person . She helped us celebrate Lorissas birthday and she joked that she had a desiganted driver , her daughter and i told her to " let it all hang out cousin, you dont have to worry about driving home" and we threw down some beers,listen to live music and all laughed into the night . once again our condolences to you, the famlily and my uncle. we love you all

Dear Patsy, I have so many precious memories of you growing up, here a few down memory lane.

As a very young kid in Bridgeport I always followed you around to Cominisky Park, The Ramova Show, Wallace Park. You always had the coolest and funniest friends and I want to be a part of that, In fact all of your friends younger siblings did the same as me.

I remember your stages of fashions, Bell bottoms pants, your first pair of clogs, Peter Frampton hair do.

I remember at McClellan Elementary walking pass your class and you sitting in front with your Buds Daddy gum folded in your hand on your desk and you popping the bubbles.

I remember your love for of music/musicians during the AM radio days. Elton John, Hotel Califorinia, Wake up Maggie, Peter Frampton.

I remember our mom getting tickets for your to see Peter Frampton Live, it was such a big deal for you that you talk about it forever.

As adults we took our kids together to Zoo, Beach, Santa Villiage, 63rd Street Parade, White Sox games and their 05' World Series Parade.

I remember You fixing my FASA, helping our dad with his paper work & Dr Appts,
getting Lencho in his program.

I remember sharing our good times and our most challenging times.

Most of all don't worry I will help every way I can to look after your babies, my heart is extremely broken for them, I will try my best in getting them through this most difficult time.

You were suddenly taken from us, but as I grieve I know I will see you again. Please say hi to Mom, Benny, Grandma & Grandpa, Georgie, George Tia, Tios, Ray Ray.

To our God-Child Patricia A/K/A simply Pat.
We were all shocked by your unfortunate result. We will all miss you dearly because of the fun and enjoyable person you were in particular at family gatherings.
I know I always had a Friend,Beautiful Niece & Godchild especially when it came to discussing Chicago White Sox Baseball.
I know this may be so very hard to comprehend especially your children, but you are in heaven and at peace, no more suffering.
Please let me know if there is really baseball in heaven, just don't tell me I'm scheduled to play soon.
As your(Uncle Joe, Aunt Nena & Godparents)we will miss your sense of humor, your always hardy and cheerful laugh.Our memories of you will be perpetual. My final thought Patricia i.e. be prepared what to say to God if he sneezes.

To my niece's family: My condolences to you in this time of need. Pat was a very vibrant person. She was also very personable which is why she was well like by all her many cousins and family. She will be deeply missed but remember all of the happy memories you will take with you as your keepsake..
Last but not least remember that you have family that will watch over you. I'll pray for you and Pat forever. Love, Rose Mary Amesquita..
