Dear Lyle & Family, I am saddened at the news of Pat’s death. I saw her last at my Mom’s funeral — knowing what it took for you both to get here, I am so sorry that I couldn’t be there for you. I DO know even while there were many, two of her dear friends were waiting for Pat…Peggy & Ray. And while we will all miss her, she is now free. Love, Cindy
We treasure the memory of a dear friend that we shall miss.
However, our loss is Heafven’s gain. She was a wonderful lady and a really good houseboater.
Stand proud, Lyle, you have been a rock for Pat these past years. Please know that you and your family are in the thoughts of your many friends. Following is a favorite verse of mine:
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Perhaps they are not the stars,
But rather openings in the Heaven
where the love of our lost ones pours
through, and shines upon us to let us
know they are happy.
With deepest sympathy in the loss
Of so bright a light.

I have checked every possible airline schedule that would fit with my commitments. Nothing works. There are so few cousins left that I feel great remorse in not being able to say farewell to Pat. My Sincerest condolences to Lyle and Family, Jon, Mary and their families. I look forward to getting together with all on a happier occasion.
Ray
I wish I could join the rest of the family there for the services for Aunt Pat. Please know that I will be there in spirit and that I love you all.
Love, Diana
