Patricia Ann Picco Politano

Words alone cannot express the grief of losing one of the worlds greatest women. She was always there for me & Linda with a kind word, and cheerful expression of love & warmth. Always the first to call and ask how are you doing John? She accepted me into her "I know what it feels like" niitche of friends. I will miss her dearly. Frank, Gena, Monica and all please accept my heartfelt condolences. I know first hand the pain you are feeling today. I know that she was greated by Linda with a fine glass of wine and a polenta dinner on the table.Love you all, John.

Dear Frank, Gena and Scott, Monica and Ted, Sarah, Jake, Ellie, There are no words to express our feelings of loss. We were so blessed to have had her in our lives for so many years, sharing so much - wonderful times of fun, travel and happiness and also times of illnesses and grief. She was my "Friesis" (friend-sister). She was always "there" in times of need. We talked on the phone almost daily and loved sharing stories of our children and grandchildren. She was the Nonna, I, the Nana. She had such wisdom. She always said she was "just a coal miner's daughter", but there was no one who had such a combination of beauty, wisdom, grace, dignity and courage. She embodied everything the word "love" means, and she gave love freely. Gena and Monica, you are the reflection of all that she was. Her grandchildren filled her heart with so much love and pride. Our hearts go out to you as her love goes on in each of you. Our lives will never be the same without her. May you take some comfort knowing how much she meant to so many, and now she can soar, free of suffering and pain. Our love to all of you. Judi and Larry

Monica and family, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. May she rest in peace finally pain free! She definately was a strong woman who put up a tremendous fight! With Sincerely Sympathy, Jeff, Tonya, Tanner and Kyler Nilson

Dear Politano family, My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always! I will forever cherish the time I got to spend with Frank and Patricia. I have so many fond memories of the time spent at the Politano house. You are all an extended family to me!

Dear Frank,Gena, Monica and family, So sorry to hear the news about Pat, I know how difficult it is to lose your mom! I have such fond childhood memories of our families together at Bear Lake. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time, and I know that my mom had her arms wide open waiting to give Pat a huge hug! Wish I could be there to get a big "Frank" hug! Love, Launi Berg Green

I am so sorry for your loss. I see this beautiful picture and it brings so many wonderful memories of time spent at your house when we were kids. Time flies and we all lose touch but the memories remain. I know you all have many to cherish and many more to make together with Pat by your side and in your heart. God bless you all, Moe

Dearest Frank, Gena and Monica, Our hearts are broken at losing our dear and beautiful friend Pat. She was so much a part of our early lives and we will miss and remember her always. We would love to be with you this week, but Don is unable to travel, so we won't be able to be there. Know that you all are in our hearts and thoughts. God Blessyou. All our love, Jen & Don

Dear Frank, Gena, Monica and families So sorry for your loss, may you find comfort in knowing she is making Heaven a better place. God Bless, Letty, Jose, Jocelyn Azarcon and families.

My friendship with the lovely Patricia extends over many years. To quote a famous author "We was girls together". Patricia and I were classmates at Saint Mary of the Wasatch. I always admired her intelligence, her grace, her beauty and her faith. I am sorry for your loss. Patricia Murphy Pignanelli

Dearest Sallie~ Sometimes there is more revealed beewten the lines' than you realize.Did you re-read your post? Frankly, I found last weekend really refreshing .It felt like real life and it was good. It was mentally peaceful. God is never the Author of confusion and his blessings of ministry are sometimes seen decades later by how our lives were lead quietly where no one was able to see or hear.I smiled when I read the post earlier of your dinner out. How many times that has happened with us! Our expectations of somehow escaping the ordinary meal at home among familiar surroundings is disappointing when we realize the cost' of that illusion of luxury.Whether it is the desire to feel we are not alone in our day-to-day struggles or wanting a bit of respite in providing daily meals for a family, maybe the Treasure we seek was right with us all along, we just need to recognize it.May GOD alone give you Peace (and quiet) and give you wisdom to decide His Best in this season of your life.in Christ,

I hope you and my mom are having a fun and fulfilling time together, and giving it the old 'college try'!  She loved all of the 'Pat's' in college, and had so many memories and stories to tell.  Thank you for being a great friend and college roommate to my late mother.
