Condolence From: Brianna
Condolence: I work for an ambulance company that services Bear Hill. Pat was one of my absolute favorite patients. Everytime I was there, I would make sure to stop by her room to say hello and receive a reason to smile. I took her to many appointments at Melrose Wakefield and she would have me laughing so hard that I would tear up. Last I saw her, she agreed to teach me how to knit, after we hysterically laughed about her knitting teeny little hats for her stuffed cat that sat on her bed. I’m so sad I won’t have the chance to learn from her. Heaven gained a special angel. I miss Pat already. Sending prayers to her family and to all the people that loved her like family.

Condolence: To Pat's Family and Friends,
I'm grateful for Pat's looking after and taking care of my late mother Margaret+ who was Pat's roommate at Bear Hill in Room 114. My siblings were quite present to my Mom in her years there and especially in her last weeks when she grew sicker while I down here in Hartford couldn't make it up to Stoneham all that often. But for the periods we weren't be able to be physically present to our Mom Pat was right there and wonderful in the way she took care of her, held her hands at times when my Mom was frightened or upset and alerted/reminded nursing staff and aides when she had not received a meal, medication, etc. Hearing Pat was close to death I drove up from CT this past Saturday afternoon (17th) to be able to sit next to her bed and pray for her for a couple of hours before heading back for Sunday duties I had. My brother came by Pat's room and we both had a chance to sit with her. May she rest in peace.

Condolence: Pat was so loving and kind to my mother when they were roommates at Bear Hill. She was always part of our conversation when we visited my mother on a daily basis. She would often go over and sit with my mom after we all had left for the day. She often would bless my mother with holy water and tuck her in and give her a kiss good night. My mother would reach her hand through the curtain that separated them and Pat would hold my mothers hand until she drifted off to sleep.And in my mother’s last days, Pat grieved along with the rest of us and also celebrated our mothers life with us. God bless you Pat. You will be missed. I hope you are at peace.
