Dear Friends,
I am sorry to bring you sad news. Today Patricia Katz died. She had been gravely ill in the hospital for 2 weeks. She was with her grandson and son-in-law when she died. She will be greatly missed.
Arrangements for a funeral are being made. The funeral will be at Good Shepherd; the tentative date is Saturday, February 23. There will be no wake. When I have final details I will let you know. Pat is survived by her grandsons, several cousins, her son-in-law, and her cat Pooky. If you think you might be able to give Pooky a good home, please let me know.
Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant Pat. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Bless her and keep her, and may the angels lead her this day into paradise to rejoice with all the saints in the presence of Almighty God. May her soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
