TIPPEN, Patricia Catherine (Pat):
Christine, Matthew, Damian, and Stephen and families wish to say thank you to those who attended the rosary, the requiem mass, sent cards, flowers, texts, emails, phoned, provided food, visited us, and prayed for us. As Mum was forthcoming with her wishes, we had a beautiful rosary and requiem mass – both were a celebration of Mum’s life, her love of music, and faith. To Fathers Tony and Suu, our grateful thanks and blessings. Marie – Mum and you had such a close bond, we know she enjoyed her (almost daily) phone calls with you. To Mum’s friends, especially Gaynor and Ethel; you all meant the world to Mum, and we cannot thank you enough for your support. To the staff at Avenal Park Funeral Home; thank you for all you did for Mum. She always spoke highly of you and of your empathy. Our family will never forget the kindness and thoughtfulness we received; please accept this as our personal acknowledgement.
If music be the food of love, play on.
Pat / Mum – may you rest in peace.
