James, you mom was a very special lady, I treated your house like my house, and she really made it feel that way. After you guys were grown and she went to work at the schools, I don't think anyone will ever know how many kids she helped and was there for, to listen to, be a friend to, what ever they needed, if they needed, that's why see was there and they found her !

God knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He saw the road was getting rough, your hills were hard to climb. So God closed your weary eyelids, then whispered,"Peace Be Thine".

It broke our hearts to lose you Pat, But you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you, That day God called you home.

Mrs. Pat Freeman was a hallmark of Throckmorton Lane. I moved to Old Bridge 35 years ago and she was there running the block. She was funny, lively and had great stories. She is a neighbor you will not forget as she will be gravely missed. A new neighborhood in heaven has welcomed her. God Bless.
