"I wish all my sympathy. Pat was a client of mine. I assisted Pat from time to time doing her hair. She always had happy thoughts and shared many of kind and loving praise for Mrs. Longtin and many of her friends. She most enjoyed that they would take time for her, specially Mrs. Longtin. I will miss her, as she never complained to me about my service and always gave me complements on helping her look her best. She was a very special person. With great respect, Annabell Luth Cosmetologist and Friend of Pat's"
