Mo’s message to Pat ‘Such fond memories of a great friend. It all began in Yarrow Avenue when the kids were young and we were too! Drinkies with Joyce, trips to Blackpool and Harrogate, cake decoration courses and Hesketh Park with the kids....the particularly memorable trip to Dublin. How I miss those happy days..... Our friendship lasted the test of time and I will miss you so much. Your whit, your sense of adventure, the laughs, the tears - you knew me so well Pat. Lots of love. Always in my heart my dear friend xxxxxx❤️xxxxxx

One of my favourite memories of Pat from my childhood was most definitely the smiley face teas and her amazing Mars bar knickerbocker glory’s, I can still see her now microwaving the Mars bar ☺️ She also bought me my 1st bra with Jo at M&S in Southport 😂 I’m lucky to have lots of memories of such a fabulous woman, she did so much for others, I remember she used to have a young girl from Chernobyl stay for a holiday. We’d go to the Church and play on the stage whilst Pat did the flowers 🥰 She also loved a bit of “ironing” (vertical with a glass of red 🍷😉) She will be greatly missed and never forgotten. RIP Pat ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for being the most amazing Mum I could have wished for. You will forever be my absolute best friend and I’m going to miss you so much but your memory will live on forever. I love you xx
