Thank You Laurie, Pat spoke highly of you and really enjoyed her time with you. She was a big part of our lives, and there is a hole in our hearts. I love the way she used to make up songs and play with her grandchildren. She loved them all so much. Life is a little grayer without her ray of sunshine.

February 2, 2012

Pat will greatly be missed by me. We have been neighbors in New Lenox Township for years. Through this time, our friendship grew. I enjoyed her sweet, loving spirit for we had many conversations about life. We especially had fun this past December as we went out for a Christmas lunch. My thoughts and prayers will be with Pat's family.
