I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Pat.
I'm so sorry for your family's loss. The following link will take you to a tract entitled " Can the dead really live again?" It has brought comfort to many & I hope it will do the same for you. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/dead-live-again-tract/dead-live-again/
Dear Tom and Family,
Our hearts are broken to hear of Pat's passing. Brian and I were so blessed to have Pat (and you) in our lives as Christian's full time caregiver from Jan 2012 – Jan 2013. Pat was so incredibly proud of her children and grandchildren, and the love she had for her immediate and extended family was evident in every word she spoke. Our prayers are with you and your family to help you through this difficult time. Love, Dana and Brian Neill

Dear Tom,
Our deepest condolences thoughts are with you. We will miss Pat very much. She always had a friendly smile for Daphne and me and we always enjoyed the conversations we had with her. We will never forget about the platter of Christmas cookies she baked for us every year.
Thinking of you at this difficult time. May you find peace and love in the memories you cherish.
Your neighbors

I just found out by a freak coincidence. My heart breaks for the family. Pat was like a 2nd mom to me. Kristine and I became so very close on tour and afterwards her family took me in and let me stay with them for a summer. Kristine and I had some awesome times that summer. I had never met such an amazing and loving woman. Was filled with energy and love. She loved and accepted everyone. She called me her "jennifa" it was our thing. I send all my love to her adoring husband Tom, who was just the coolest guy and as accepting as Pat, of course my heart and prayers go out to all the kids and grand kids. May you all be filled with love and light and all the wonderful and beautiful memories you shared with "mom". I wish I wouldve known, I wouldve been there to celebrate her life.

all my love from me and the Polish's
