Mark and Jennifer-So sorry to hear about your Mother’s passing. Know that you are in my thoughts in this difficult time.
Sue Depp says
My sympathy to the entire Fitzpatrick family. Kay and I met through the Newcomer Club back in the 90s and enjoyed lots of fun times together. I shared many ‘o cups of coffee in her kitchen on Lathrop Ave. I remember Maureen’s wedding and all the preparations your mom worked on to get the back yard just right for the occasion! We were mall walkers together, and shared lots of stories during those walks. I also worked with her when she did a bit of catering here in Racine. I’m so sorry to read of her passing. May you forever carry her in your hearts so she will be with you always.
