Frank J Rudock says
My condolences and God’s peace be with all of you during this difficult time. This is Pat’s friend Frank, Bridgette in case you’re wondering who Frank Rudock is from Castle Shannon. Coincidentally many many decades ago Saint Norbert was my other rudock Parish dad’s twin brother who lived on mullooly Street in Overbrook right by Church. Dr. Al rudock is like 63 years old now and sister Chrissy around 62 don’t know if there’s any connection. Parishioners or not God says we are all his children so he lost one of his own and we all must grieve only temporarily because God says he has prepared places for all of us, This Is Why We Believe
Alexis Blum says
My great uncle, Lance Freund, will always be remembered in my heart and in the hearts of his family and friends. Every time my family and I visited Pittsburgh, Lance would welcome us, along with the other Freunds. He had a fun sense of humor and a great voice and laugh. I once helped him pull weeds outside the house. He said I didn’t have to help, but I wanted to. He once told me his favorite color was teal, or a close to teal color. He was encouraging towards my creative pursuits, and he was someone whom I’ve admired. I pray for Lance, and I pray for comfort, for all of our family and friends, especially those closest to him who are missing him dearly.

Lance, we will always remember your good humor, stories and jokes. Your generosity to your nieces and nephews over many years will always be remembered and serve as a testament to the kindness that you always masked with a wink and smile. We appreciate your loving dedication and the care that you provided to your mother and father over the years. You are resting easy now and smiling along with Jeff, Jackie and your mother. All of us will miss you and the brightness that you brought to all of our lives. Enjoy the peace that surpasses all understanding, Love Tom & Renee, Matt, Michael, Dana & Dave, Alexis & Johnathan – your Memphis and Texas connection!

My deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time. I hope the words at Rev.21:4 bring you comfort. It says: “God will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
