To my Aunt Pat
I want to say how very much I love you. Always have been the kind of aunt the any child would see if they closed their eyes and pictured the perfect aunt. I thank you for your consistent love..from taking me as your own when my mom was battling when I was three, through the rough teen years, for being there for me through every one of my family losses. Consistent love my entire life is the memory you left me. Most of all I want to say how much I love the way you and mom were best friends your entire lives. I love you and will miss you greatly. Give my mom a hug and kiss for me. To Cathy,Mark,Mari,Ruthie,Betty and Chris I send all my love and support..trust me I know that you are going through the greatest loss of your lives..if I can do anything please let me know.Love and support eachother through this time in life, know and treasure just how blessed you are that you have siblings to lean on and talk to..only a sibling truly understands. I hope you are able to understand and forgive me for not attending the service.
Thoughts and prayers are with the Schlicht Family at their time of loss.
Ron and I are so sorry for your loss, all you kids, it will be very hard to even think about this being real for a while, your mom is always supposed to be there to talk to. Please accept our sincere sympathy at her passing…I know she was a very kind and great lady!
We are sorry for your loss. Pat babysat my children when they were little, it was always nice to know they were in such a loving place when I couldn’t be with them. Our thoughts are with you. The Stonebraker’s – Rory, Laura, Cory & Kyle
God our Father, Your power brings us to birth, Your providence guides our lives, and by Your command we return to dust.
To Pat’s family and John Daniel.
I am so sorry about your loss. Knowing that you are in pain, is a heavy burden no family should have to carry. Just know I am here, and sending strength and love to the family at this time, and always. I met Pat when I was in my twenties and was a very good person. She was simply a sweet person. Very giving, and knowing JD, she raised and supported him with such unconditional love, I know she is very proud of him. Pain never goes away, it does take time, as well as I know, I loss my brother at the age of 46. He has been with God for three years. My heartache never goes away, but, I keep him in my heart always so he is with me, but, I do miss his hugs the most.
In company with Christ who died and now lives may Pat rejoice in His kingdom where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us together again as one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever.
May peace be with you, John Daniel and Pat’s family.
God Bless
