Charles and Family,
There are no words to adequately express the friendship that Pat always shared with me and with anyone around her! She was truly a great, loving person--one who will be forever precious in my heart! There is no doubt where she is today! I know Pat is in the presence of our Heavenly Father and all the family and friends who welcomed her with open arms! Please know, you and your family will be in our prayers! So blessed that God allowed us to meet and enjoy the blessing of friendship for so many years.

For so many years you all have been just like part of our family. It was just expected when we had get together that you all would be there. When daddy got his military medals you all were there to celebrate with us. When mom and dad passed away you all were there to grieve with us. If anyone needed anything if Pat could help she was right there. May you all find peace and comfort in all your good memories and in your friends and family. Pat was a beautiful person inside and out and hope you all know she was loved very much.
Charles, Brenda and Wanda, , “Old Sweetie” here. I was so sad to hear about Pat. When I came to work in food service with her, she made me feel so welcome and part of a family. Charles she gave me 5 trees from your job at the forestry service. Three of the oaks have grown and flourished these many years. I think of her every time I look at them. She was so proud of her family. And loved you all very much. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Sandy Thomas
