Dear Billie We were saddened to hear about your Mother. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless You. Gerald & Roberta Sota Family Lawrence Rech
Some people have a profound effect on your life, one that you will never forget. My stepmother was this kind of woman, someone that made my life special in a million different ways. I miss her more than words can express, and feel blessed for having had the time that I did with her. I will smile often thinking of her and the funny things that she would say to me, the way that she loved my father and the family that was created when she became part of my life….I love you Pat
OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU PETE
I remember playing poker at our family reunions. Aunt Pat got sooo excited when I won once. You would have thought she had won by her celebrations for my success. I love Aunt Pat and remember her smiling face today and always. She was always a light to me. Wes

Pete and Family. We are so saddened by this. We loved Patti so much and we are hurting for you guys. Our prayers are with all of you. God Bless You
I loved how she basically got everyone to play cards before the food was off the table during holidays. I remember how happy she was for me when I got married and how she welcomed my husband with open arms. After her and my Uncle Pete got married in her living room all those years ago, I was the first one to call her Aunt Pat. I remember her eyes tearing up and hugging me. I\’m sure her, Uncle Donald, Grandma and my Dad have one heck of a poker game going! We\’ll see you again sometime. Love you Aunt Pat and I will miss you! My thoughts, love and prayers go out to all those that she touched in her life.
