To the Rogoz Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother, Pat. I remember her from my teller days at the school employees credit union in Meriden. She always seemed to make us laugh. I share your sorrow since my own mother passed away of Alzheimer’s six years ago this month. May you all find comfort in the recollections and tributes of those who had the pleasure of knowing your mom.
