Uncle Paul:
Gary and I extend our condolences on the death of Aunt Pat. She was my godmother and I have wonderful memories of an exceptionally strong and capable woman with a great sense of fun and tremendous loyalty to our whole family. She lived a very long and productive life, and we now join with you in celebrating that life. Rest peacefully Dear Aunt Pat! We also want to thank you Uncle Paul for the exceptional love and care you demonstrated especially in her declining years. Thanks to you, she died at home as she would have wished surrounded be the people and the things she loved.a Parker Mooney
Sad to say goodbye to my remarkable Aunt Pat today. All her nieces and nephews love and admire her. She was a highly intelligent, kind, generous and always gracious woman. A lady. . Our thoughts are with Uncle Paul. Pat was blessed to have such a loving, devoted and honourable husband. Deepest sympathies, Uncle Paul.
I am sorry to learn that our dear neighbour and longtime family friend, Pat (Sharpe) Russell, has passed away. Although the last few years have been hard and she is now at rest, all will still miss her. My heartfelt condolences to Paul, Noreen, Gel and all members of the Sharpe, Russell, Parker and Blair families.
Paul:
Bob & I send our condolences to you and the Sharpe family on Pat’s passing. We both remember her fondly from our laboratory days.
Paul:
Sincere condolences to you and the Sharpe families.
Thinking of you all at this time, as that ache lessens you will all have many happy memories of the past on which to look back.
