Pershin Family,
I recently purchased Patricia’s Bible on eBay. There is a Family Register inside with your names that led me to this page. It was sold by a bargain shop, so I don’t know if you intended to sell it or if it was misplaced. It’s a beautiful 1954 red leather Douay version, Light of the World Edition. There are a few notes and prayer cards inside. Reading her obituary with her Bible in my hands brought me to tears. If anyone in the family would like the Bible returned to them, please let me know. God bless

For Pat’s family: a wonderful, kind lady has gone to the glory of her God! I knew her during my time as Pastoral Associate at the Shrine of St, Therese.
She would come in to set up for mass and we would talk. How I enjoyed those times! She was so faithful. Then I would see her grocery shopping (when she was still out & about) and we’d spend a few moments catching up. We were all blessed to know her.
Bill and Family. Our prayers are being said and our condolences to everyone. God Bless and Take Care.
My deepest condolences to the Pershin family! She was a Beautiful Lady, kind Lady! May God give you all comfort at this time of loss! 🙏💔
So sorry for your loss. 💔
Aunt Pat, you are the last of the beautiful Richardson girls, always so beautiful and caring. Our mother Katherine, Hermena, Edna, and now Pat, you were raised with such high values for family and faith. Blessings to all of the family’s who are mourning this loss. Nephew Larry & Eileen Whittemore…
Long ago I spent wonderful days of my young life with Pat and family. Our homes shared a back fence and life was always more exciting on the other side! Sending you all prayers of peace and comfort. May your memories carry you gently during these days.
