Bonnie and Amanda we shocked to hear that Mom passed away. Stephanie had seen her over the past three years and she looked so good. The last time I saw Mom she thanked me for the meals, for the leg rubs, for the walks in her wheel chair and just for being her friend. I know you girls may have not understanded the depth of our friendship. I have missed Pat since your guys moved to Culver Court. My prayers are with both of you and your families. I will try to get to visitation on Tuesday pm. I still don't drive as my vision is reduced. Hopefully Brandon can take me. Steph and Doug are working but both send their feelings and caring. Your Mom was always proud and loved you both. Jen

Amandah and family. I know this is a hard time. Your mother was a fantastic woman. I am greatful to have known her. To have eaten deep fried pickles and joked around. She was so very proud of you and what you have accomplished Amandah. The woman you have grown into. She was able to attend a beautiful wedding, and also welcome a fantastic son-in law, Matt into your family. She also was blessed to see the birth of your beautiful child, her first grandchild, Forest. This I know you are ALL greatful for. Forest. You will always know your Grandma. She was so blessed to have you in her life. You will hear beautiful stories and funny things grandma did with your mommy and your Aunt Bonnie. The memories and stories you will keep close to your heart. Many hugs and lots of love to the strongest people I know. I love you all,Amandah, Matt, Forest, Bonnie and Especially Pat. Rest in the Paradise you deserve to be in. It's never goodbye, it's see you again one day. As my cousin said before she passed: "Someday everything will all make sense, So for now laugh at the confusion, Smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason". xoxox All my love, Renee Beleutz

My sweet girls, I know this is a difficult time for you both. You will miss your Mom so much and think of her every day for the rest of your lives. There will never be anyone else like her. You are so fortunate to have so many loving memories of your Mom and the things you did with her. It is a wonderful tribute to her that so many of your friends loved her and called her "Mom" also. As painful as it is right now, I hope you will be able to rejoice in the fact that she was running (yes, running) into the open, loving arms of God, who was waiting for her. She will have her new spiritual body and be smiling down at you girls and her precious grandson from Heaven. Since we just went came home from Canada and Bills' father's funeral, we won't be able to be there with you tomorrow or Wednesday, but I will be thinking of you and praying for you. Love, Aunt Sue

Dearest Pat's family... So sorry for your recent loss. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Your mom was a special lady and in a very short period of time, she touched my heart. I will miss our special tea times and conversations together. She was so excited about her new grandbaby, Forest and I am thankful she got to spend memorable moments with him. Although the days ahead will be hard , losing your mom too soon, please find comfort in knowing that she is now free of pain and suffering. Your special memories of your special times together will give you strength to handle the sad days ahead. Rest peacefully dear friend. Fondly remembered by fellow patient, Yvonne ox

Dear Bonnie and Amanda, Time has passed since I have seen the family but although our lives grew apart I’ve thought of you all often. Your mom was a very special person and helped many children along the way. I am no exception as Pat helped me as much as anyone and for a very long time. As many others, I will remember the many good years we all had and keep her close to my heart. I have an entire childhood of laughter and good times spent with the Avey family and hopefully you do too. Please accept my condolences and know my heart goes out to the entire family. Charlie.
