Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with both Pat and her husband Frank when I was visiting my best friend, Val, and her husband Guy to celebrate the new year several years ago. Pat was such a sweet and kind person. We talked about books and one movie in particular, called Ladies in Lavender. I had recently seen the movie and no one that I knew had seen it and I was so excited when Pat told me that she had seen it and it was one of her favorite movies. We sat and discussed it. Pat was a sweetheart. Im so glad I got to meet and spend time with Pat. My friend Val loved her so. Rest in peace, Pat.
Guy and I will treasure the memories and love we shared being your neighbors at Lake Gaston. You were the BEST neighbors anyone could ever have hoped for and the ultimate bonus, we became family. Pat was my best friend and I will NEVER forget the quality of life experiences we shared. Pat had a wonderful sense of humor, a deep love for so many people and always thought of the other person before herself. We miss Pat dearly and know she will be remembered forever. God’s blessings to you, Frank and your family….All our love, Guy and Val
