"Sure gonna miss her" -- Patricia Jane "Pat" Curran

A salute to my friend, and mother in law, Pat Curran. I'm not quite ready to write about her. But, let's just say that after a rocky start, we've been pals for 36 years, and traveled together, wrote poetry together, cooked, babysat, and debated politics, religion, and ethics many times. Her greatest legacy, aside from all her great civics works, patronage of the arts and political causes, is, of course, her children, all of whom I love like my own brothers and sisters. I will miss her very much, and will always be reminded of her by Keelin, the child who most closely resembles her (see the third to last photo).

Her obituary can be found here.

Here are some pictures of her at various times, in various places.
