Some of my favorite Sundays were calling Aunt Pat from Florida and catching up with the latest news & laughing about things my grandkids would say or do. Then she’d always say”where’s my Michael?” I’d put him on the phone & more laughter but always ended with an I love you. ♥️
Maureen, I’m so very sorry for the loss of your Aunt Pat. How wonderful that she lived with you! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Pat was very special to our Indianapolis family. Our summer vacations in Providence provided lasting memories of love and laughter. Pat sacrificed so much in showing her devotion and loyalty to her Mother, our Nana. No one had a. bigger heart than Aunt Patricia. She was a beautiful person and truly an angel on earth. She will be
missed by all who knew and loved her, especially cousin Maureen.
