Hello to Pat’s family………….
My husband Jack and I shared a duplex apartment with your mom and dad many years ago (McDonald Street, Glens Falls, NY).
I did see Pat off and on through the years. A lovely lady and I always enjoyed seeing and talking with her.
I remember you little ones back then.
My sincerest condolences for a lovely lady who I consider to be a friend. Lucy Abrahams

Betty,
While I am broken with your passing, I know you will forever be watching over us and guiding us as you always have. While I will miss you, I am thankful that your struggle has ended and you can be at peace.
Thank you for all you have done and taught me. I am the man I am because of you and will make sure those values are passed on to our Addie Q.
I hope I have made you proud. Rest easy now Betty. I will see you again. Brush up on your short game because we will have a standing tee time when I do.
Shannon
