I am so sorry, you had to lose your precious mother so soon after your father’s passing. Sixty years is a very long time for a couple to be together and then be separated by illness and then death. They are together again, even if it is so hard for their children and grandchildren.

We will always remember Aunt Pat’s precious smile and her kind words. Thinking of the family and kids during this diffcult time in the passing of your parents. You are in our prayers.
