Joan RackI am so sad upon hearing of Pat's passing. We've known each other ever since St. Peter's grade school. She recently got me involved in the St. Pete's ladies lunches. I will miss her smiling face. My condolences to her family for their loss.

John RudolphUncle, cousins, I have been remembering Aunt Pat by telling stories about when we were kids and spending a lot of time together. I am hoping to come down for Sunday, but have to be at school on Monday, so cannot stay for mass and burial. You are all in my prayers! Talked with my mom and dad through prayer, and the family has welcomed her home. John
