We hold Aunt Pat close in our hearts. She lived a long, full life, and we’re grateful for the time we had with her.
To my mom Barbara, she wasn’t just a sister,she was a true friend. Their bond is rare, and I know it made both their lives richer.
She was simply a wonderful aunt. She showed up for us, cared about us, and made us feel like we mattered to her. That’s a gift we’ll carry forward.
Aunt Pat’s life was long and well-lived, and her love for this family leaves a mark that won’t fade. We’ll miss her, and we’ll hold onto everything she gave us.
With love,
Stacey and Robert Adams and Family
