Dear Patricia, From the moment I met you, you welcomed me with open heart and made me feel like part of the family. I will always remember your kindness and smile. I will always cherish the memory of our little talks, shared laughter and secret gossip sessions. The time I was able to spend with you was precious and unforgettable. I will miss you deeply but I’m not saying goodbye forever! I believe we’ll meet again someday. Rest in peace xxx

Pat was my dearest friend. She was more like a sister to me. We did so much together. I thought the world of her. I’m going to miss you more than you could know Pat. But will always remember the laughs we had and that little smile of yours. Even though you were in pain you still kept strong. Rest in peace. Xxx
