To my cousins and our very extended family~
Aunt Pat was always a gem. She was very sweet, tender and caring person to everyone. We shared so many wonderful times together as family that our mothers made sure happened while we were all growing up. That still captures who we are, all still together in our older years as well, and loving as if all these years never passed.
I wish I could fly home to be with you all for Aunt Pat’s memorial funeral. But please know I will be in each of your hearts as we honor your Mother’s life.
Love to all my cousins, and your extended offsprings. We will miss you, Aunt Pat.

To My Cousins, and their Families,
My Godmother, Your Mom, was the sweetest aunt that ever was!
I am so proud to have had Aunt Pat and Uncle Joe as my godparents.
After all these years, I still have some of the notes she wrote to me
when I was young. She always remembered my birthday, and remembered
me at Christmas.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and love to you all at this very sad and
difficult time.
I only wish that I could be there in person.
Much love to you all, my dear cousins.
Sincerely, ( cousin) Tommy

It was such a lovely last day of awareness for her I was told, full of love and laughter, just as she lived her beautiful and long life. How fortunate she was to have each of you. We all admired Aunt Pat’s genteel ways and large heart, and we will miss her greatly.
With great fondness,
Carol (Mathieu), Marcel & Nell Nyffenegger

Peter: I was so sorry to learn of your Mom’s passing, after a long and courageous battle. If there ever was a perfect mother, she was it. I’m sorry I didn’t hear of it sooner, as I would have attended her funeral. You were thoughtful enough to attend my Dad’s, funeral, and I am forever grateful to you for that. I know what a huge loss this must be for you, but I hope you can take comfort in having had her in your life until her 92nd year. I’m glad I had the chance to visit with her in the last couple of years, as she was mentally alert, and remembered me. I will always remember her as well. Hope to see you soon-Dan
