Uncle John, Tim, Judi, Dan, and all the Pate family members, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm going to miss Aunt Mary very much. I have wonderful memories of growing up with you, all our cousins and dear Mida. In the last few years, Aunt Mary and I would reminisce of those times together and how special they were to our family. She always enjoyed talking about family. I will miss having those conversations with her. May your memories of her warm your hearts in the days ahead.
Love,
Rosanne
