If Pat were still with us, she would wish you and Joe a happy anniversary!

Aunt Pat, we will see you in Heaven!  I love you!   Teresa

We think of Pat often, she was such a big part of our lives.
Pat will live in our heart & memories forever.

"Patricia Sawyer"..."Pat" to me and Karin..."Auntie Pat" to my two boys Joey and Johnny...SOOO many memories just not enough space here to detail them all. Pat was one of those people that may have had HER opinion on something...may (DID) disagree with you when she felt strongly about whatever BUT she WAS ALSO the kind of person I KNEW I could call at 3 O'Clock in the morning if I had a problem and she would drop everything and come and help ya. AND SHE DID on several occasions...in the middle of the night I mean...otherwise she was ALREADYS THERE to help or lend a helping hand. Pat and June adopted us and more importantly the kids. In my early years in the car business I wasn't making too much money...times were tough and I think Pat and June put more clothes and especially shoes on my kids then I ever did. They loved my kids (and us too) and we loved her and June. Pat was like having another Sister...GOD the things she did for me and my family. I NEVER COULD HAVE REPAID HER....AND SHE DID THEM without EVER expecting anything in return. Helping me with an electrical problem...with frozen pipes...putting-up our pool and deck...JUST BEING A FRIEND. When God made the Friend mode he broke it after making Pat. In our later years...after moving to Naperville...as we all got "older"...we didn't see as much of each other AS WE SHOULD HAVE and THAT WAS OUR LOSS!!! Shame on us for not being as close as we were when we lived in Northlake. Pat I know we sent cards and things like that BUT we should have seen each other more. I apoligize for that from the bottom of my heart. At least we did see each other from time to time along with the kids. We ALWAYS enjoyed your company along with Barb and Momma Hinton. I'm SOOO greatful to God that you and Barb enjoyed a lot of years together and we can't even imagine the grief and loss that Barb must be feeling. Pat...you were ONE OF A KIND! I love you so much!!! You meant so much to me, Karin and the Kids. YOU WILL BE MISSED!! I pray to God that we'll all meet again in his time. LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH! 
Your Brother Joe

Patricia came into our lives with hot sauce in one hand and a bucket of water
  in the other. There was no holds barred when you opened your mouth- she
  gave you her opinion whether you liked it or not, and that was the greatest
  thing about her! She always had a smile for everyone and loved to lend a  
  hand. I remember many dinners at my parents house and celebrations
  at all of our houses with the fondest memories. 
 Patricia, we will all miss you, words can't express and even as I type and
  tears roll all I can say that we ALL LOVE YOU!!
  You came into our family and touched every one of us with your kindness,
  generosity and love , I only hope that it is repaid ten fold.

                       Pat,Molly and the Boys

I loved Pat, calling her Auntie Pat. I met her when I was 15 years old and didn't like her because she seemed more like family to my cousin Joey than I did. But of course, once I got to know her and June, I couldn't help but like them.

I had a bedroom at my grandparents house next door and grew to love them both like family. They were included in all of our holidays and daily activities so we grew very close. When I was 17 years old, my grandparents were in a horrible accident that kept them both in the hospital. I kept coming home to an empty house and a cold stove, eating heated up peas every night because that's all I know how to make. Once they found out about that, they began feeding me. They were also both SO supportive of me and Karin's family during the long recovery time, babysitting Joey and driving me to go see Grandma.

I just can't say enough nice things about Pat and about June. I'm very glad that Pat had Barb (and her mom) in her final years: I know she loved Barb very much and that Barb made her happy. My sincere condolences to Barb. I regret I couldn't attend the wake or funeral services (I'm currently unemployed and living in the Florida Keys).

Today is Easter Sunday.  Pat was part of our Easter celebration for many years.  Pat started a new tradition for us about 30 years ago. My two boys (Joey & Johnny) would receive their Easter baskets from Auntie Pat & Auntie June. Every year the Easter Bunny would leave an 'extra' basket for my boys at their house ;)  In their basket, each & every year.. was a brand new, top of the line kite.  So, after dinner.. we would all head out to a field where there were not to many trees & go fly our kites.  We did this for over 20 years!  So every Easter I think of her & the fun she brought into our lives.  
We love you Auntie Pat & you will always have a special place in our hearts. 
XOXO
Karin Jarmusz
