Pat and family, I was so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. She was always so sweet when I ran into her at Roses or saw her out with you.
It does not matter how old you are, losing a parent is difficult. Let your memories keep her alive and may you find peace in those memories of happier times.
With love.
One of the sweetest ladies this world has ever known. She was such a Godly person and his love showed in everything she did. God bless her family.

Bruce – Our prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you as you go on with your life.
