Pat was truly one of a kind. She was a true Chicago Bears fan, she was a proud and opinionated American, She loved going to Las Vegas, she loved to shop, She loved the Lord and going to church every Sunday morning, but most of all, she was the Matriarch of our family. She was the cake baker, pierogi maker, opinion giver and supporter of the whole family. She was everybody's best friend, but wasn't afraid to give her point of view. She had some favorite sayings (we call them Patisms) "Two wrongs don't make a right" "Things happen the way they're supposed to" "I love my life" "Less talk, more work" and "The harder your work, the luckier you get", to name a few. Pat loved her life, loved her family and loved God. She will dwell within our hearts and all of the wonderful memories will sustain us until we meet again.
