In the short time I've known you Pat, I know what a blessing you were to your sweet mother. She is to be celebrated and so are you for the devoted daughter you've always been. She is receiving her reward and is so blessed to be with our Lord now for eternity.
Truly a special lady. I always looked forward to visits when I did get to our place in land harbor. May god keep her forever in his heavenly arms.
Joan and Jim lived down the street from us in Land Harbor and I loved playing bridge with Joan. She had a remarkable mind that enabled her to flourish at the bridge table. Her keen sense of humor was appreciated by all who knew her. Pat, you were a loyal, dedicated daughter that I know that your mother was thankful for. You are in our prayers.
My condolences to you and your family. She was the sweetest little lady. Love you.
