Patricia Flanagan
In the heart of family’s embrace,
Aunt Patty shines with grace.
Kind and loving, hardworking soul,
In life’s battles, she plays a role.
A mother and grandmother, pure delight,
Her love extends from morning to night.
Through trials faced with unwavering might,
She’s a beacon in the darkest night.
In Florida’s warmth or Philly’s chill,
Her spirit radiates, a love that’s real.
A sister to your mom, a bond so strong,
A thread of love, forever long.
With Joe and Melissa by her side,
Her journey, with courage, they ride.
Grandchildren’s laughter, a melody sweet,
Echoing love from seat to seat.
From the Sunshine State to the City of Brotherly Love,
Aunt Patty’s strength, like wings of a dove.
In the tapestry of family, she’s a thread so rare,
An inspiration for all to care.
Let her know, amid the fight,
Her family stands with all their might.
In prayers and love, a united band,
For Aunt Patty, across the land.
