Hi Aunty Patratzy :) We came by on your birthday to see you. I promised you that I wouldn't cry, and I held it in, until now anyway. I can't believe you've been gone for a year. It feels like an eternity. I am looking for a safe place to put that 4 leaf 🍀 clover that me and Jayden found on your grave. Thanks for the good luck wish. I drove by Macklind the other day. The new owner was planting flowers underneath Grandpa's window. Wouldn't it be cool if they were Marigolds? PJ looked pretty handsome in that jacket, didn't he? In a way I'm glad that you're in a better place. There's a deadly virus going around and there's no toilet paper in stock anywhere. I know how much that would've worried you :) Lately whenever I miss you, I just pretend that we only haven't seen each other because of the toilet paper tragedy. It's keeping everyone apart. I worry about Mom and Dad everyday. Anyway, we are trying to come up again on the anniversary of when you went home to your golden mansion.. Which is tomorrow. Don't worry, this time we'll bring doughnuts.. And Hershey bars.. And coffee. The babies want to bring balloons and let them go into the sky so you'll get them in Heaven. I love you. ❤

I met Pat 16yrs ago at Central Library she welcomed me with warmth and a friendly attitude we would talk everyday we worked
sometimes we would have lunch 
What I remembered most was she would bring a brown bagged  lunch with just simple things a sandwich a juice and a piece of fruit
I had lost touch with her when I got transferred to another branch but while working at Buder I met her sister Louise which I did not know was her sister until we started talking about library life 
I was glad I could hear she was still around and she remembered me when Louise told her about me
Rest in peace Pat

Pat, I hope you realized how very special you were and still are too me.  I will forever miss spending every day with you. I'm going to miss our kitchen chats. We would just sit at the table and talk about pretty much everything.  I loved you as much as my own mother! You have been here for me since birth and i'm truly lost without you.  You were my best friend and my heart is broken without you.  I always strived to do everything I could to make you proud and I never wanted you to ever have to worry about me. I hope I did a good job of that.  I can't even begin to explain all the memories we have together.  I spent the last consecutive 9 years living with you so it's going to be impossible to name every amazing memory we had together.  I know you're watching over me and my family.  I can just feel it.  I been so hurt over the fact that you won't be able you meet the new baby, but I know you'll see him/her. You said so before you left. It's going to be so hard to go on without having you here with me.  You were my biggest cheerleader. I love you so much, Pat and I promise to stop ugly crying every time I see tiny things that remind me of you like donuts, chicken, chocolate,  coffee. I just need a lot more time.  I know you want me to be okay,  but it's gonna take a long time to get over the loss of you.  I will never forget you and I promise to keep your name alive through the kids just like you kept your mother, brother,  and aunts names alive through me. Thank you for everything!!

Cousin Pat was so sweet every time you would see her.  She was always so glad to see my Dad, Uncle Bud, asking how he was and wishing him well.   God bless Pat and her family.  

Pat, you never saw your halo, and you never felt your wings. You've always been an Angel. You wanted to go home so bad, and even though we gave you our blessing, we will never be ready to let you go. You really never understood the amount of people who are going to feel completely lost without you. You'll always be in my thoughts, my heart, and my prayers. I will forever appreciate and adore the time we spent together on earth and I will be eternally grateful for everything you've done for me. I'll think of you everytime I eat anything that I "really shouldn't". I love you with all my heart! Kisses and Hugs
