I am so very sorry to hear of Pat's passing. She was one of a kind. One year she was treating me to the Cubs game for my bday, we had a couple of drinks, walked outside and there was a stretch limo to take us to the game. She was the best! My children adored her and she was the godmother to my son Ryan. She would be so happy to know that Anthony, Melissa and Ryan are doing great. A flood of emotions and memories have come over me the last couple of days. Another one taken too soon. Love, Sue

So very very sad Pat to hear of your passing. What fun times we had together with the "Birthday Girls", the cruise, the parties, and especially my "40th" will never be forgotten. Bob and I hope you are in heaven having a vodka and entertaining all our favorite people who are greeting you there.... We love you and hope you are at peace.

We were so very sad to hear of Pat's passing. It had been many years since I saw her, but my Aunt Pat was always in my thoughts.
