Michael, Our sympathy goes out to you on the loss of your sweet Mother. I was unaware that she was suffering from Cancer. The last time I saw Vaughn and Pat was at Aunt Polly's funeral. Although I didn't know your Mom well, I alway admired her. She took such good care of Vaughn during his sickness and was a good daughter-in-law to Aunt Bobbie. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Pat was our son-in-law's loving mother, our grandchildren's special "Nana" and our dear friend. She was a kind, thoughtful and generous person. Our heartfelt condolences to all who are suffering her loss from their lives. We know she will be happy in her heavenly home along with Vaughn and her heavenly Father but those of us left behind will miss her greatly.

Dear Michael and family,
Pat was a great cousin and my mother, Polly Sitas, loved her dearly. She was a wonderful wife to Punkin and had a great broccoli casserole recipe. She will be missed by my family. I will not be able to come to the funeral, but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Michael, so sorry to hear about your Mom. Pat was such a great lady. I will never forget her sense of humor and the smile she had on her face every time I saw her. She has a way to make a person feel so special just by being in the same room. RIP Pat!
