My deepest sympathy to all the McGowan family for the loss of Patricia. Philip I am so sorry to hear about your sweet precious mother's passing.I will never forget her laughter or her cheering for the Red Sox in the back ground as we talked on the phone.She was always so full of life,laughter & love.You both had such a wonderful loving relationship.You were always there to look after her need's and there to bring her joy.I heard it in her voice & your's.Always cherish your special moments & memories.I always knew she was a wonderful mother to have such a wonderful caring son.Even to her last request "Keep Trying" she meant in so many different ways.I pray for your familys loss and please know I am thinking of you .Here is a poem i read that made me think of her.. I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow, The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear, For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. God Bless you all Love Joanna
