Patricia leaves us with memories of a loving mother, a fearless fighter, and with her writings which include: “A loss of a love. Time without words leaves you wondering. The whys in your head are somewhat haunting. You look for the answers deep in your soul. Only to find that “time” has again made you whole.”
Calling hours for family and friends will be held from 4:00 – 7:00 pm on Friday, August 28, 2015 at the THOMAS J. PIRRO JR. FUNERAL HOME, 3401 Vickery Rd. (corner of Buckley Rd.) North Syracuse, NY.
