Condolence From: Judy and Vin Piccolo
Condolence: Judy and I were happy and proud to be next door neighbors, and very close friends, of Pat and Will, and later George. Pat was unfailingly optimistic and vibrant, excited about new opportunities, songs and plays. Pat loved to be "the hostess with the mostest", welcoming friends and neighbors to her home for a Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner, or even a Super Bowl Party (as long as none of those conflicted with her first love, GOLF.) We are happy that we were able to visit Pat last month in Marquette, and tour the town and neighborhoods where Pat happily remembered people and friends from her past. We were also fortunate to have met, and admired, her family, especially Steven and Jill, Mark and Judy,and Valerie. We share your sense of loss. We will miss our friend Pat, always.

Condolence: Pat was one of my first friends in America. We both sang in the Mitchell Methodist Junior Choir. Her exuberance was infectious. She was pretty and extremely talented in everything. Over the years we connected periodically, but recently we had become much closer. I came across an old picture of her and me at a dance with Billy Hyry and Sheldon Ahola. Val you could have posed for that picture. I will miss her, but I know where she is and I will see her again soon. God bless all of you.

Condolence: Steve, Val and Mark,
Greetings from the land of trolls...
I have many memories of your mom and most seem to be centered around the table...go figure huh? From Pasty's to raspberry jam. Your mom was a very welcoming person who instantly made one feel as if they were family. We wish we could be with you in person today to celebrate your moms life and legacy. Praying His Love and Blessings over you all today. Pat, Sally, Mary Jane, Mike and Korin and Kathy and Chris.

Condolence: Mrs. Rudness was one of my favorite teachers. During my years at high school I was involved with the business club and went on several trips with her. Her wonderful cheer, humor and proprieties will be remembered fondly. What a great lady!!

Condolence: I had Mrs. Rudness as a teacher in Champion in the early 70's. She was an awesome teacher..truly inspirational for anyone interested in a business career. Personally, I did not pursue that myself, but I always enjoyed her classes in shorthand. I still use it today for making lists/notes. She was so professional, elegant and truly a nice person. My sympathies to all in her family. I am sure you have many wonderful memories of a life well lived.

Condolence: My sympathy to Pat's family. Pat and I grew up together in Negaunee. I have great memories of our friendship. Her Mom was like a second Mother to me. We did a lot of laughing together. May God Bless Pat's family and friends.
