She was beautiful and I know you will all miss her terribly, but rejoice and be glad for she is finally home where there is no sickness or sorrow, only joy and peace with her Heavenly Father. A place where you will see her again! God bless you all and give you peace.

Lou Crook says
To Pat’s family you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I went to school with her but did not meet up with her again until she married Dick. He and my husband knew one another from work. We all hung out together and went fishing together and had great times . I’m glad I got to spend time with her in the hospital before she went to hospice. I will cherish those memories forever. She is with Dick and she is free from pain and can breathe without coughing. God bless all of you.
