We have had the blessing of having known Sister Pat for many, many years. She was always warm, endearing and like a magnet you were drawn to Her. Aunt Pat was sharp, witty, worldy and in touch with life. She always had words of wisdom to offer. I was always touched that she knew what was going on in my life as well as Dave's. She was so easy to talk to and it was always a real treat when she came to visit in NJ. She loved the life she lived and because of that you were inspired to live yours better.
I have always felt a little safer and blessed for having known Sister Pat. I beleive she always kept me in her prayers.
Our lives are that much richer by having known Aunt Pat. All of the Checchio's are top notch people and "Aunt Pat" is right along side of them.
We are very forunate to had recently spent some one-on-one time with Aunt Pat...before she had divulged her illness. Looking back she was being true to herself and was definitely considering the feelings of others by not sharing her concerns.
Thank you to all the Checchio's for always opening your hearts and home to Dave and me. It is because of your love and affection that we also got to know and be touched by this amazing person.
We are thinking of all of you today and will be praying that you are at peace.
We will miss Aunt Pat for sure.
With love,
Gabrielle & Dave
