LOST A GOOD FRIEND
So sad to hear of Aunt Patsy’s passing she was a Gem. When I first moved to Chicago she sent me care packages of fun little games and things I would enjoy. I’ll never forget her kindness or the nickname she adorned me with: Creep she affectionately called me because of all the hair I had when I was born 🙂
I’m so sorry to hear …I loved both Patsy and Nick so much. She was like a mom to me.I worked at Cambridge House of Swansea.. When I had down time, I loved sitting and talking with Patsy… She always checked up on me even after I left Cambridge House..She always knew I was a call away if she.needed anything.. even if it meant meeting the two of them at the hospital when Nick was worried about his pacer being adjusted..
She was like a mother to me.. and she would always ask about my daughters the ( nun) and the ( nurse)
Lots of love and prayers to you Soti she loved and adored you so much.. you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
