PJ’s Story

Site created on September 9, 2023

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. We know that you came here to connect with us and with PJ, who is so very dear to each and every one of us. A wife, a mother, a sister, a cousin, an aunt, a friend. She has blessed our lives with her presence, her jokes, her laugh, her energy, and her hugs. We welcome your energy and your love. We invite you to share in the journal, add a picture, and help us all connect.


PJ's journey with ovarian cancer has gifted us with many moments of joy in addition to the heartbreak. We have gathered, friends and family, with her as time and space have allowed over the past two and a half years. Her time with us has been precious. We are now at the point where she is entering into hospice care at home and she will be supported by the health team. Your continued support of PJ and Thomas, and her sons, Parker and Henry, is vital and welcome. Please spend a few moments here with us and share your thoughts, your memories, and yes, collectively, our sorrow and grief because this is hard. But it's a difficulty that is helped with your support.



Thank you for visiting.

Thank you. 

On behalf of Thomas,  and sons Parker and Henry, PJ’s sisters, PJ’s Mom, thank you, all, who were able to join us at the Rosary and the Funeral Mass - both in person and in your thoughts and prayers - this past Thursday and Friday to mourn our loss and remember PJ …  the joy, the realness of her essence that accepted each of us as we are and encouraged us to step into the fullness of who we are. 

This is her legacy. I saw it, I felt it, and I heard it again and again, in each hand extended, each hug exchanged, each tear shed, each loving memory told, each encouragement and hope shared of how PJ’s voice and presence enriched your lives just as she enriched mine. In the sharing of our tears, I encountered the sacred essence and blessing that PJ has been in each of our lives. Thank you for helping us bear the grief of these past few weeks. I will forever treasure   each of you who have been part of the collective strength of PJ’s amazing community.
