A message to all from Pat

Thanks to all of you who shared the support during my illness. I loved getting your cards and little gifts.I must mention Jody a friend I met in 1995. Jody ended up living in Naples, Florida but during my illness kept in constant touch by phone and we were even able to see each other a few times. Jody and I shared many Shenanigans over the year as co-workers especially on St. Patrick’s Day!

The family would like to thank the crew of North Memorial Hospice for all their loving care.

In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
