Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Pat was a beautiful warm and faithful lady who showed me much love and care, both when I attended St Albans and since I moved from Manchester. I am grateful I was able to see her in September and share a short time with her and Father Charles. I am sure Pat will have heard the Lord say “well done good and faithful servant” as she entered His presence. I am not able to attend the funeral but I said my thoughts, prayers and love to Father Charles, the family and my friends at St Albans.
