Dear Rum, Joe, Jack and grandchildren:
We were very saddened to hear about the death of "Pat". As you know, she was a special lady with a very big heart. She was our "Mother" away from home during our College years and for this we will forever be greatful. We will cherish the fond memories we have of our cousin but will most of all remember her for the kindness and joy she gave to her Aunt Florence, Aunt Alma and Aunt Bo during their later years. RIP "PAT".

Dear ‘Rum’, Joey and Jackie,
We are so sorry to hear about Pat’s death. I will always remember her advice and her wonderful sense of humor as I was growing up. Sometimes she mixed both together…
Take care of yourselves. Our thoughts are with you, Ruby and Chas
