I worked with Pat back in the days of Central Presbyterian Church when David McMillan was the Sr. Pastor (way back in the mid-to-late '60's). She was an important person in my life and and I still cherish my three pieces of her work.

I'll be thinking of all of you and I am so sorry for your loss - I'm sure her passing will leave a large hole in the fabric of your lives.

So many great memories of Pat and Bill's friendship with Mother (Peg) and Dad (Clyde Everhart), especially the sleep-in New Year's parties when we were kids. I cherish the beautiful water color Pat painted for Mother & Daddy's 50th wedding anniversary. May God bless your grieving with love and memories of laughter.
