John 14:1-2
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
With our love and deepest sympathy as we remember “Aunt Pat”.
You were both a grandmother and at times filling in as a grandfather – even though you probably weren’t aware. You came to this country not really knowing anyone and started an extensive tribe spanning generations – respected your ability to take risks. You liked reading National Geographic and educated yourself with books despite never completing higher learning. Your eyes would light up every time your grandchildren were in a room together. And, you liked to take credit for the more stronger aspects of our personalities. You hated technology but embraced enough to get by…especially since you liked movies. You were a good listener and confidante – will miss our talks. You were always proud of us even though we might have not always felt that way even about ourselves. You sent us birthday cards well into our thirties – you didn’t have to but remembering them all was plenty. You loved your bronco almost as much as you loved cats and sitting outside on a nice summer day. You made the best soup and always managed to stash some for when I’d visit.
Thanks for being there Grandma Pat.
Peace and Love
