PJ was always a huge part of our family. She never forgot her birthday, or a special event for any of us. They were always countless rides on her Harley, and the smile that she always presented to us will never be forgotten. I’ll never forget how she would play Santa Claus at Christmas for all if the family and had a gift for everyone. PJ you will be greatly missed. Rest in peace.

PJ you are now surrounded by some of the best, between your brothers, my mother, brother and Bruce! PJ and I shared a life together for 18 years and raised a fine young man, Jeremiah. PJ was a big influence in my son's life as well as mine. She stood by me through some of the hardest times of my life, I would not have made it without her strength! All holidays were always spent with my mother, brothers, sisters, spouses, nieces, nephews and cousins. At Christmas she played Santa for the little ones and big ones! We all have pictures sitting on Santas' lap from babies to Gertie, the 98 year old. She definitely had her big as "Texas" family and all are saddened by the loss of a family member. PJ was bigger than life and everyone enjoyed that about her and never forgot her. PJ never met a stranger. When at an event my friends would ask "Does she know that person?", as PJ was randomly talking to people as if she had known them forever, I would always reply "No, but she will be their best friend by the time we leave here". My family and I want to send our sincere condolences to Lori and the Bryant Family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

In PJ's short life she managed to make a huge impact. Year after year she gave her talent, time, and resources to help individuals with intellectual disabilities who receive services at ARCO. She will not be forgotten...her legacy lives on through each person she helped.

I remember Coach PJ. She coached my daughter Kimmy in shot put and javelin about five years ago in her backyard.

I only met PJ twice. She came by and picked me up to go to the airport last year when one of her drivers couldn't do it, but she got me there on time. I was at St. Francis In the Fall for blood tests and she came in but I didn't recognize her. Her hair was short and darker. We started to talk about our roots in PA and things about our military. She left the office before I did, so when I saw her standing in the hallway waiting for her parents, on my way out, I went over to say good-bye. It was then, we realized we'd met before! In the meantime, I'd taken another ride home from the airport and the driver told me to settle up with PJ. I never could get through on her phone, and realized I still owed her $100!!! Happily, I had exactly that in m purse and handed it to her with my apologies. It seems I caught her life at a time when things had gone badly with not only her health, but also with her parents. Those few minutes I spent made a big difference and I was so happy to have paid what I owed. PJ had a gracious, joyful manner and I'm sorry I didn't know her better. May God comfort her many friends and rest her sweet soul in eternal peace!

I worked with PJ many years ago in Dallas TX in the early 80'S. She was the most positive person I have ever known. I hope she is catching up with her siblings who have gone before her.
