There are no words that can express the deep loss felt when someone we love passes. Likewise, there are no words that can really make us feel better. Only time, and the knowledge that they are never REALLY gone can help. Sending my love and prayers to you Jill, and to your family.
Pat was a good friend for many years and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you..
Sorry for your loss my prayers and condolences to you and your family and friends Jill
Mom has been my American mom for a long time and the American grandmom for my 4 children, with home-made quilts for their births. Dating back from the early days of my friendship with her youngest, Jill, I´ve always known her as a warm, kind, loving and giving woman, who will be sadly missed. My thoughts go out to all who´ll also miss her.
Pat was a wonderful woman and neighbor..
Good to know that she will be watching over us from above
Sorry to her this sad news. I worked with Pat for many years at the Pottstown VNA. We shared a lot of stories and have great memories of those days. She was a wonderful coworker and friend. May our Lord gave her family comfort during this time.
So deeply sorry for your loss. Thinking of you & your family
