The passing of Patricia A. Cosgrove

It is with the heaviest of hearts I share the passing of my mother, Patricia A. Cosgrove. At 63 years young, she suffered a heart attack brought on by COPD, which she battled with for years. They say you're never ready, but none of us expected it so soon.

A private, invitational service will be held early next week; in lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to assist the family with interim expenses. Any amount collected over $10,000 will be donated, split between breast cancer and COPD research.
