Hello Bob, I am very sorry to hear of Pat's passing. It has taken me a while to find this information. I am Dick Stefanik's daughter. Jean O'Brien was my grandmother. Pat and I would communicate via email. Pat had so much information on our family tree and she was kind enough to share it with me. Again, we are so sorry to hear of your family's loss. Our condolences.

Dear Bob, I just learned of Pat's death and wish to offer my sympathy to you and your family. Once you and I discovered our family connections, Pat and I corresponded on Facebook, sharing family stories and news. She was a lovely person whom I know you miss greatly. Sincerely, your cousin, Margaret Russell Ciardi (Kiley Family)

So sorry for your loss Hugs!
