Aunt Patsy was a beautiful woman. Her gentle kindness to me and my siblings will be dearly missed. Spending Christmas Eve in Deerfield at Aunt Patsy’s house will forever be a wonderful childhood memory- especially when Santa showed up! The warm house filled with people and the smell of Swedish meatballs, bread and sweets. Aunt Patsy’s warm hugs truly made one feel loved. As an adult, Aunt Patsy- along with John and Christy were instrumental in helping me find the man of my dreams. I will forever be indebted. Some one once said “Grief is the price we pay for love.” How true. I sincerely hope that all who new and loved Patsy will feel the way I do- The amount of grief is great but it can never out weigh the love, compassion and kindness Pasty showed those around her. May you rest in peace, Aunt Patsy and may your smile and easy laugh live on in each of us. Cousin Lisa.
