My dear Aunt Pat, you will be so greatly missed by so many. You were like a mom to me. You always sent me packages and encouraging cards when I was in college and beyond- sending sweet, thoughtful things and writing encouraging, positive words. Like the time you sent me Susan Boyle's album after my mom died. I loved sleeping over at your house before going on bus trips to Martha's Vineyard and upstate Massachusetts in the Fall. I will miss your laughter, your quick wit, and your honesty. I was always most fond of you as my mom always was. People gravitated to you like a magnet because you could always light up a room with your laughter, funniness, style and charm. Forever Irish eyes are watching over you. Farewell sweet Aunt Pat. I will love and miss you always.

Love,

Your Niece Joanne, Brian, Madeline, and Emma
