Jill, am praying especially for you and your family. What a wonderful legacy she left for you all. She was a blessing through the years to Wayne and me.
Miss Pat it was such a pleasure to have spent so much time with you. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family she was a very special lady. Pat taught me so much I enjoyed our talks and she was truly an inspiration. Miss Pat adored her family and was so proud of them always encouraging all of us to keep asking questions, to keep learning and to always strive to make a difference She used to tell me it's what you leave behind that matters and I hope she sees the huge impact she made in everyone's lives who knew her. We love you Miss Pat and you will always be fondly remembered. Heaven is definitely a little brighter today.

Mike and Jill so sorry to hear about Pat. I think about her lots. I enjoyed my visits to see her. And I would tell her I have my three brabson Nandinas growing in Florida. They grow differently and do not have red berries. We will all miss Pat but we have good memories of her.
