What better way to deal with your feelings of grief than to celebrate her with the raw, difficult parts of her story as well as the delight that she was. No one’s story is easy, and fortunately, Aunt Pat had you and Mike to give her peace and security, in a home filled with laughs, food and family. She was blessed.

We definitely healed together. Life isn’t easy and grief is a bitch, and I’m committed to telling stories that can help me use what happened for something useful, loving and real. You have a unique perspective, Keven, and I always value hearing from you.

She was a very special, much loved woman. She is missed but never forgotten.
