Dear Kristine, Pete, and the rest of the Kuzma family,
Although I didn’t know your mom, I knew of her illness. I know how much you’ve done for your mom in these last few months, and know that it has been stressful for everyone. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing, but I know that she is now rejoicing with the angels and the Blessed Mother in Heaven. Please accept my family’s sincerest condolences. We are praying for all of you.

Kristine,
We are so sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. She was a Very Special Classmate. I’m aware She has been struggling for some time. Our sympathy is with You and Your Family.
Being 1200 miles from Lancaster, I won’t be able to physically be with You. I’m Sincerely Sorry not to attend Pat’s services.
What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. May the memories of Pat live in Your heart always.
Our Prayers are with Pat and Her Family.

Ed and Family:
I graduated with Pat from Catholic High Class of 1953. I will always remember her as a Cheerleader in school and she kept her outgoing and upbeat personality all through her life. I admired how she handled all her physical pain in later life. She is now free of all pain.

I wanted to pass along how sorry I am to hear about Aunt Pat’s passing. I have been thinking about you all and getting updates from my mom. It is times like this when it is hard for me to live so far away. I will miss Aunt Pat’s laughter and "cheek pinching" 🙂
