Fairborn Eagles Eagles
February 1, 2024
Sorry to hear about the passing of Pat. I think of her often. We were officers at the Fairborn Eagles. She gave me a start from a Christmas cactus that I still have sitting in my kitchen window. She insisted that she give I take it because I gave her a start from something, or it was a bad omen or luck. That part I can't remember to well. But I still have the cactus.
I really enjoyed knowing Pat.
