Dear George, Melissa & Elizabeth - Too quick and too soon. We were just drinking and playing cards together. I have a hole in my heart. May God direct you in the paths of life.

I will hold you all in my prayers. I'm sorry to hear about Patty. I remember her from Girl Scouts, the pool, and from one of the Knights dances when I lived in Maryland again for a short time about 12 years ago. Patty was a lovely, kind, dear and beautiful person. God's blessing and peace and care be with her family and friends.
