Most Recent Reflection
View all 38 ReflectionsI meant to make this on Fri, your actual birthday. Another year of remembrances. So many days that I do think of you and know you would have made such a difference had you had the chance. I thank your brother Joe for mentioning me. I feel lucky to have had conversations with your sister Rosemary while she was on FB, it helped me on some things. I hope she is well.
So may you rest in peace dear Pat.
