My grandma was the Best Mommom A girl could ask for, sitting there by her side in her last weeks reminiscing about all the grandma duties she would do like always check if we had T-shirts on and pat us down with extra powder after our bath, she chuckled and said it warms the heart... in grade school on the weekends and the summertime I remember always wanted to go to Mommom’s to spend the night her house was so much fun and joyful. I would sit for hours with her dusting off her dining room shelves with all her knickknacks and she would always tell me the stories about each one. I told her one day when I become a grandma I wanna be just like you! She was always there for all my pageants helping my mom do my hair and make up. She would always dress me up when I went to her house and when I got older would always have me in her fashion shows. Every time we got together we would always pull out the Scrabble board and sit and play for hours. I remember her always looking her best had her nails done and her lipstick on , and every time I got a compliment on how I look younger than what I am or how pretty I was my reply was thanks I get it from my grandma... she was our anchor here on earth and now our angel up in heaven and I told her I want her up there waiting for me when it’s my turn. Love you forever Mommom !❤️

Pat was very special to me and to my Mom. So many fun Soroptimist trips and meetings full of laughter. And her HATS!! We could always count on Pat to show up in a classy topper! As I progressed in Soroptimist leadership, she was one of my biggest cheerleaders. She also was a huge part of planning my wedding. She and my Mom were very close, and today I imagine they are laughing and hugging in heaven. She will always be a part of some of my best memories. Love you Pat. Save me a seat!
