Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of you mother and Grandmother. Pat and our mother Janet were dear friends (and football rivals). We will always remember her kindness to Mom when our father died. They always were plotting some adventure, whether it was dancing at the VFW or splitting a pitcher of beer at a Sports Bar. Your mother was a gift!
