My Dear Aunt Pat

After a long battle with cancer, my dear Aunt Pat passed away on Monday, at home with her husband, seven children, and nine grandchildren. Today was her funeral. As I was unable to make the trip to Milwaukee to attend, I wanted to take a moment here to pause at her memory. She was a wonderful woman, and my Uncle Ted loved her deeply. They were best friends throughout their 44 year marriage. As my Mom said, my Uncle Ted felt like the luckiest man in the world with Pat at his side. That kind of love is rare in this world, and though it makes her loss that much more profound, they were lucky to have found each other and loved each other throughout their life together.
