12/6/23 Pat, it just hit me today that you are gone. I miss your kindness and your laughter. While I know you are better off now, it is hard knowing I can't pick up the phone and hear your voice. You raised such a lovely group of kids and you and Mary made a good life for you all. I realize what I missed in not seeing you and the kids throughout my life. When you are young, you don't realize till much later in life what you miss when you move away from family.
Your kids will now carry on your's and Mary's legacy through their children and their children's children. What a blessing. I think Mom and Dad would be proud of you and the life you lived. To Kimmie, Patty, Charlie, Mike and Bryan, I am sorry for the loss of your beloved Dad and Mom. You are in my prayers and as time moves on, we will be comforted with their memories. Love to you all, Aunt Chris
