My heartfelt sympathies to the entire family. Mrs. Van Hecke was kind, generous and dedicated to her family. She was always funny and cheerful and had a soft spot for animals, taking in strays. Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear. May the hearts and souls of family and friends find peace and comfort in these thoughts.
Dear Aunt Pat, all our memories of you have been of laughter and love. You always brought a smile to our faces even if only through a phone call. You will certainly be missed but all thoughts of you are nothing but good. Heaven wll be even brighter with you in it! Our thoughts and prayers to Uncle Raoul and her whole wonderful family. We love you. Mike and Lucy (Scally)
Over the years I have thought of you and your family wondering what you were up to and where you were. You and your girls took great care of my kids when they were small. May God grant your family peace as they learn to cope with your loss. RIP Pat you deserve it.
Pam Baum (Knobelsdorf) Tim, Tracey, Mike and Chris
Prayers and thoughts to the family on Aunt Pat's passing. She was always the Aunt that was the life of the party and always telling a joke or telling a story. I know she will be missed by her family and friends. Debbie Harriman (Alcorn)
Our prayers go out to the family...I will miss Aunt Pat. She was a big part of my childhood. She provided so many laughs and happy moments when my sisters and I stayed over with our cousins. She had the best sense of humor and I have thought of her a lot through the years. I know she will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with my cousins and Uncle Raoul.
Love, Kathy (Harriman) Boker
