Pat Nazzaro

PATTY WAS LARGER THEN LIFE TO ME.  SHE  TOUCHED MANY LIVES ALL IN UNIQUE WAYS. I WANT THIS TO BE A TESTAMENT  TO HER LIFE.  AS I HAVE MANY MEMORIES AND STORIES OF MY DEAR COUSIN.  SO DO ALL OF YOU.  I ASK THAT YOU ALL SHARE YOUR MEMORIES AND PICTURES.  I WILL STSART WITH MY OWN STORY.

WHEN WE WHERE YOUNG ME PATTY AND DONNA WOULD ALWAYS EAT IN THE KITCHEN ON HOILDAYS, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR US IN THE LIVING ROOM ON THE BIG TABLE          WELL  IN 1977 WE LOST MY DAD AND DONNA THERE WAS NOW A SPOT AT THE BIG TABLE FOR PATTY  BUT NOT ME.  I REMEMER HER TELLING MY AUNT BERTHA SHE WAS GOING TO STILL EAT IN THE KITCHEN SO I WAS NOT ALONE.  NOT SURE WHY THIS IS THE STORY IN MY BRAIN AT THIS TIME.  MAYBE IT BECAUSE IT SUMS UP JUST HOW SHE CARED FOR PEOPLES FEELINGS.  I LOVED MY COUSIN PATTY LIKE A SISTER.  AND LOOKED UP TO  AND RESPECTED HER DEARLY.
