"I am so sorry to hear about Pat, so many memories comeback to me of our days growing up in Altura. We used to go rollerskating, dancing and just hang around together. We lost contact of each other after graduating. You all have my deepest sympathy and know that she is at peace now and joined with Sheri and her parents. God Bless"
