Such a loss but Pat lived a long and good life. My heartfelt sympathy to Ron and the family. We will all enjoy reminiscing about the good times we had together. I will be going thru withdrawal from Pat’s delicious eggnog when Christmas rolls around! 😩💕
For a pearson like you heaven is secure destination. You have thought me when I was just a young lad that goodness in the heart is contageous disease and it is worth the risk because it always come back. If not to you than to your family, kids, friends. Her generosity was a lesson for life. And as such, her spirit will remain within myself and my family. God bless you.
