I feel very fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to meet your mom. Love you…
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing , for your loss trust me she is happy prayers for you and your family
So sorry Gail. I loved talking with her when I visited mom. Mom said she was her best buddy at Angels. I’m sorry that we didn’t get the chance to visit the two of them together, before the pandemic. I know they would have enjoyed that.
I am very sorry for Mom/Grandma’s loss. I remember our trip to Florida, she took Chaila and I on my first trip to Disney, it was a memory I will never forget. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I consider it an honor to have known Pat. She was a unique person and she brought some wonderful people into this world. Her memory will stay with us in our hearts and minds. She may no longer be here in person but she will never be forgotten. “You may not see the bird but you can still hear it sing”
My Aunt was truly the most beautifully unorthodox person of my lifetime! Her offbeat, unconventional personality won me over at 7 years old, and her influence on my life shows to this day.
God bless you Gail and Michael, you were there for her the whole way! Love to you from the Eppersons.
Aunt Pat was always the cool Aunt. She was the life of the party and so much fun. When I was little I remember she always smelled so good to me and as a teenager I bought the same perfume she always wore, White Shoulders. I love you Aunt Pat and I hope you and Uncle Wayne are having fun??
I will miss Pat’s sense of humor and her caring presence. My condolences to the family.
