Pat there is hardly a day that goes by, that I don't think of you. I miss our nearly every evening conversation on the phone, rehashing the days stories and perhaps a great "find" in our hunt for our beloved family members as we did our genealogy. I remember well finding some long information about your family and how happy you were. You were blessed being raised by such loving grandparents. You know, you were the center of their life and brought joy to them. And I know how much you loved them and missed them. I also know how proud you were of your 3 children: Toni, JR and Danny. I also know of your sorrow over the loss of your daughter at a young age and how happy you were when you were able to connect once with her children - your grandchildren and your great grand-daughter. You spoiled people with your kindness and your generosity and loved doing it. Thank you for my beautiful birthday gift of a luncheon with our friends at your home. The lasagna was delicious as the company! Thinking you would do that for me, brings tears to my eyes, even now. It's been lonely without your friendship.. but I have lots of memories, May God be there with you. May Toni be at your side and you the two of you once again enjoy laughter together. Love you Sue
