I will miss my Irish twin sister Pat (she is 343 days younger). Although you might not guess that slender Pat and chubby me are even related let alone Irish twins. Pat was a woman who never went half way. When she delved into something she believed in, she was all in. I have great admiration for how she persisted through the final 15 years or so of her life while facing significant health challenges. She was a trooper. May she rest in eternal peace.
Servant Patricia and I are members of Carmelite servants of Jesus Pierced Religious Community. When I joined the community about 28 years ago, she gave me spiritual guidance sharing her wisdom and Godly advise, helping me become the best version of myself. What started out as an acquaintance soon blossomed into a spiritual sisterhood then into the best of friends. I had the privilege of spending a lot of time with her either in person or over the phone talking about our innermost thoughts and feelings and the events of the world. I learned so much from her. Prayer is central to both our lives, when one of us was struggling with something, we prayed for each other right on the spot. I am joyful for her that she is now pain free and in the arms of Jesus. I’m sad because I miss my confidant and friend. May she Rest In Peace.
Dear Bryan and Jeff, I was very sorry to hear of your mother’s unexpected death. She was a good and faithful servant at St. Margaret Mary Parish for many years. I remember the two of you as young boys–and now you are men! Please accept my sympathy and you will be in my prayers. Sincerely–Phyllis Fuhr
I only know her because I always see her at church. She is the grandmother of my children’s classmates at St.Margaret Mary school. My sincerest condolences to the family.
So very sorry to hear of your loss of Pat. We went to high school together and haven’t seen her in years, but I remember her being such a really nice person. I know how much you will all miss her! My heart goes out to you! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!
Dear Bryan and Jeff, David & Mark and your all family, I am very sorry to hear of your loss of Pat. With Pat I remember a really nice and sweet person. I will NEVER forget the time we spent together at my uncle garage or when I came to take care of you Bryan and Jeff (you were so young and me too). With your mum I did have fun ! I have only beautiful memories about this time and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. My sincerest condolences to all your family.
