It is with mixed feelings that I write to the many Knights of Columbus I know and those I have yet to meet. This is the last letter I will be sending you. I have developed problems in my renal, hepatic and cardiac organ systems and can no longer fulfill my duty to this ministry. I would ask for your prayers as I enter this phase of doctors and medicines and test upon tests.... that God gives me the strength I need and continues to have Paul by my side. My best wishes to all the Knights. Viva Jesus! I hope to see all my friends at the Houston Convention in April.

All praise and glory is yours, Lord our God, for you have called us to serve you in love. Bless Patricia, so that she may bear this illness in union with your Son's obedient suffering. Restore her to health and lead her to glory. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
