    Aunt Pat was always the strong one - She was there for me so many times telling me to Hold on to my Faith - God would help me through it - When Dennis died, Joshua becoming paralysed and Katrina then Bobby dying - Aunt Pat was always giving me words of encouragement - Without her constant up holding of me I think I would have cracked and gave up - But She always said God has a plan - Today I hope you all know God is holding her and helping her now - She is in Heaven and watching over all of ya'll as you were all her wonderful children and she bragged on each and everyone of you - My deepest sympathy to each of you - An Angel was delivered in Heaven
