I never met Pat face to face. I grew to know her when my husband and I started watering the flowers during
the summer on her family graves here in Philipsburg. From our conversations on the phone, I found her to be a very special
and knowledgeable woman who it was my pleasure to know. My deepest sympathy to all the family.
