The Spaldings send out their condolences to the Watkins/Cobb/Wallace/Gorchesky clans on the loss of your mother and grandmother. We always loved seeing your mother at our post-game gatherings and the family functions that we were fortunate to be part of. She was the matriarch to quite a special crew of people and will be missed.

Although it's been many years since I've seen Pat my memories are fond. She was a hard worker, a good provider and a loving mother to her children and grandchildren. She was an incredibly strong woman that endured many obstacles in her lifetime. I always thought of her as the rock of the family. Our hearts go out to Chrissy and the entire Watkins family. May you take comfort in knowing she's in a better place and pain free. Love, Tim & Laura Dethloff
