Marc and family,
Pat was a truly amazing woman. She was always there for you and her kind, generous, loving ways were so obvious to anyone who met her. I consider myself lucky to have known her. My memories of her always begin with her smile and her warm laugh. I am so sorry for your loss and want you to know how much my heart goes out to you. Find comfort in knowing that your mom was made comfortable and surrounded by the love of a caring family. As time passes you will remember more and more that your mom lived, not just passed on. Her life gave you beautiful memories that will be with you forever. May the Lord bring you peace and comfort as you heal. May he also being you joy as you keep your Mom’s memories alive. Love to you all!
