I was thinking of Pat recently and looked her up and was saddened to see of her passing. I enjoyed working with her way back when I was a recent college grad and newlywed at Levitation in Kettering. I thought the world of Pat and remember her always laughing . I wish I had been able to reconnect with her sooner. I´m so sorry for the family's loss and to hear of Bob and Colleen´s passings. I loved hearing about the kids and seeing them when they´d stop in the store. My deepest condolences.
