So very sorry to learn of Pat passing. Always enjoyed seeing her smiling face at Credo when I went to see my Mother Ali Rose.
Sincere condolences.
My sincere condolences on the great loss of Aunt Pat. She was a fine woman: such a devoted wife, mother, and nurse. So many of my childhood memories are tied up with all of the Luckeroth households in Seneca. I always looked forward to graduations and family gatherings; tonight I am especially remembering Jim’s graduation celebration and watching Mom and Dad with Uncle Norman and Aunt Audrey, and Uncle Donnie and Aunt Pat interact and tell stories about the Seneca they had grown up in. I will keep all of you in my prayers for comfort. May her memory always be a blessing to all who knew and loved her. Growing up, I never heard my parents speak of Uncle Donnie without speaking of Aunt Pat. It was always the two of them together. Imagine the reunion! Sending love, Suzette
Sorry to hear of your Mothers passing , thinking of you all. May she rest in peace.
