I want to thank the Kurauski family for the beautiful funeral service and luncheon in Pat's honor. She was a dear friend to me, always kind and non- judgmental. I miss her and always will. I wish you peace during your time of grief.

I took a rose from the bouquets as I left the lunch, as Laura suggested. It has become the most spectacular red rose I've ever seen! Through a day & night in the hot car it's gotten even lovelier. I'll keep it as my Pat reminder, in a photo, nearby.

I am so sorry to hear of Pat's passing. I worked with her at St. Paul Federal for many years. She was a funny, intelligent wonderful woman who had much patience for those of us not as smart and talented as her when it came to programming. My thoughts with you at this difficult time. She was a special lady not soon forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss and send my condolences to Pat's entire family. Pat was one of my classmates at St. Patrick Academy in DesPlaines and I remember well our days as teammates on the basketball team....we both loved playing and hung out in the gym every chance we had!
Sorry I am unable to attend the services but I will send lots of grace your way as you remember Pat and celebrate her life in the coming days.
