Our dear Aunt "Pat" was the most fun person! Her family in Maryland always lit up with anticipation of her visits and we couldn't get enough of her. She was a gift to this world and to us. We love you! You are missed!!!

Grandma - I am sad that your last couple of years were spent not remembering the ones you loved most. I hope that wherever you are now, you have regained all you had lost. Your spunk and sass will never leave me. You taught me to stand up for what I believe in and never give up on my dreams. Until I see you again ~ Hugs and Kisses!
