  2. Elmo, Cindy and Mike; My deepest condolences at the passing of Pat. I so enjoyed our friendship thru the church. Great peace and comfort to you all.

  3. On behalf of Shirley Stone . Kathy , and myself. We are honored to have been neighbors with Pat for 51 years. We feel that her kindness , caring , and compation has been a true blessing. We each have many memories of her. The one that stands ou the most for myself , as real now as it was in 1975. Very shortly after learning my sister was found deceased. Pat knocked on a back door that was never used. There she was with a casserole, eyes watering and tears on her cheeks. Offering not just the comfort of food , but sharing our grief. Love for her neighbor , giving , sharing. That single act not only exposed her heart and soul . This memory has been with me ever since and always shall be. Thank you Pat and elmo , for every thing.
