Will miss this lovely lady that played such an important part in my life while growing up….such beautiful hair, twinkling blue eyes and her laugh….always a welcome, friendly smile immediately followed by how’s the family…we could really go on and on over the phone with our “remember whens”…the good old days with the Kane get togethers…and always ending in what the other aunts (the girls) had/had not done to get Grandma Kane going….LOL.” Sure remember how Grandma Kane would call the “girls” out for something that they had done while wiping her hands on her apron and saying ” why can’t you act “lady-like” like PAT!!!!! Soooo going to miss her….but will always keep her and Uncle Dick in my heart….especially during the Holidays when I take out and prepare her favorite recipes for Pepperoni Dip and Broiled Crabmeat Canopies that she sent to me last Christmas….love you always, Aunt Pat!
