Pat, You are in our thoughts and prayers. Your Mom was one amazing lady and it was a pleasure knowing her. God bless.
Pat, I am sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I saw the two of you recently and had the pleasure of meeting her, although after seeing what she did in her life, we may have crossed paths and I didn’t know she was your Mom. It is never easy to lose your Mom and my thoughts are with you at this time. Debbie

I was sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. With my dad’s death last year, I know too well the void that it leaves. They were a great generation.
All my best, Ritch
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mom was a wonderful lady.
We warmly remember Wanda and Fuzzy from our earlier days in Hudson Falls and will forever feel blessed to have shared some good times with them.
Sincerely,
Doc & Donna Bassett
