Thinking of you Bridget and Joe, your Dad was a wonderful man. Both your parents treated me like family from the day I met them, welcoming me into their home and hearts. I loved them both and cherish the great memories.
Love you, Donna Bell (Walsh).

Uncle Pat, I will miss you forever. You were a Great Uncle to me and my family. I learned many life lessons while being in your company at family gatherings, the bowling alley and at your house with your beautiful wife Aunt Penny. You always treated me as one of your own kids and I love you for that and always will.....
