Oh Tony where to begin. I was always so thankful to you when you come into Patsy life. I always believed that Helen and Jack were in heaven, looking down on you too and came up with a plan so neither, you or Pat would be alone. 👼You know how sneaky angels can be👼. I think Helen and Jack wanted you and pat to be friends, partners and companions so you too would be able to do stuff in your Golden years because they couldn’t, they were both taken so young. And I think both of you did, even with both of your losses. I also felt like you were a grandpa to my two sons Glenn and Patrick especially Glenn his grandpa Jack passed three months before Glenn was born, and I felt like you filled that role for him. I know he enjoyed being around you when he was at the shore. It’s time for you to return to your first Love Helen. I know you’re at peace now. Know that we loved you and we will miss you Tony…Love always Maureen❤️ Godspeed.
