She was a great aunt.   My mother and her had a wonderful, warm ,fun relationship.    They travelled together and at one point came to see my husband and me in Philadelphia.   She loved her family and friends.

She loved her wine and the last visit I had with her, she was instructing Joyce and myself for wine.

I will miss her greatly. 

I hear her voice in my head.   I'm so glad to have seen her recently.

She was one of my favorite people .    My uncle is there as well.

Visits to Cleveland.   Always a visit.

She was special.

Though you were only with our Red Hat group in Shady Oaks for a few yrs we will miss you so rip till we meet again, your Shady Oaks Red Hatters

We will miss Pat more than you will ever know, as a friend, neighbor and Red Hatter from Shady Oaks. R I P Pat, you will be surrounded by red hats for sure.

Every memory of Mrs. Secunde starts and ends with a smile. Your friendship with my mother resided over several decades. Pat, Pat,Pat and Therese. So we would say, Secunde and Palowski-Mommers.  What a force you ladies were, my mother was the youngest and she misses the gang. I will keep your memory alive in the stories we will keep telling. It all started at Ascension and all those kids you all shared. 23 kids between the four of you. The memories and the adventures are many. You and the Pats gang  came to visit me in Boston. Oh how we laughed. I will miss you, I see your smile, I hear your voice, I recall your enthusiasm. You made the world a better place.  Rest in peace Mrs. Secunde

To the Secunde Family and friends,
                                                           I send my deepest condolences to you and the family during this time of remembrance.  She was a great lady indeed. Her labor is now over and she is with our Savior.  A mothers loss is never easy but with love and memories and laughter there will come joy again.  Cherish every memory in those moments of sadness joy will spring forth and a smile will return again.  May Gods peace that passes all understanding be with with each of you. 

Love, 

Mr. Dana Skipworth-Florida 

A happy memory at Der Schnitzelhaus in Parma for Uncle Jerry's 90th birthday. We will miss your infectious laugh and homegrown wisdom.

My dear friend we have shared so many adventures together.  I will always treasure the many conversations we had. The time in Florida when you and Jerry met up with Dave and I at the strawberry shortcake place in plant city.  All our Red Hat adventures.  Us three Pat's. You and I  shared a birthday month.  Always in my heart forever. ❤️ 

I am sorry for your loss
So glad we had a lovely afternoon together with Jill and Joyce while they were in Ohio
Love to all ❤️

      Don just reminded me that Aunt Pat had a great collection of lighthouses all over the house. And such a huge fan of th tribe- right down to the earrings. We had that in common, just as Uncle & Dad could talk cars, engines, trucks & parts for hours. while I just listened to the stories... Don n I always called Uncle Jerry on speaker phone so we could laugh our butts off at decades old jokes and tales of brotherhood, Dad n his little bro- Uncle J told us Marine stories Dad never told us. Uncle J. put peanut butter in his oatmeal, just to tease Aunt Pat. Aaah, what a joy it was to visit them: Aunt Pat loved the verbal sparring of Uncle J's sly dog humor. Even writing this I feel a warm sad smile, remembering the totally relaxed feeling of their house and the love that Don and I would just feel so welcomed and easy in the middle of their still sparkling romance.  It was a joy, and now the pain of talking to Uncle J. weighs heavily on both of us. That will be very hard. Love to everyone. Esp. Mato who called this morning to ease the way. 

Having Aunt Pat in our lives was a blessing. Scotty and I send our thoughts and prayers to Uncle Jerry, cousins, and their families. Memories of her smile make my heart happy.

Cindy Scott

I was saddened to hear of  your mothers passing, and my thoughts are with you and your family.”
