Patricia J. (Archer) CARLSON

Dear Pat (mom)
I remember watching hours of MTV with you - I remember how comfortable you always made me feel- How down to earth you were- Never the doctors wife, just Dans mum ---- I remember hearing you playing your OPERA and going to Artpark with you- You taught me an appreciation for better music-
I remember your laugh, your zest for the church and singing!!!
You had a heart of GOLD-
Very odd - I have been thinking of you so much of late and was going to contact you once the semester ended-
Sorry I waited...
Thank you Pat for all you gave me- an ear that lisitened, a hug, a smile
I will remember you always
Love Marilyn Keller Brennan

Thinking of Pat when we were young, and all the times when we would come to visit family in Falconer and she would make a special trip to Aunt Ruth and Uncle John's house to see us, give us hugs and chat, chat, chat!! She will be missed, our love, sympathy and prayers are with all of you, especially Aunt Ruth!

We both have so many wonderful memories of your mom. It was such fun sharing our birthdays together. We will never forget her. Barbara Taylor and Nancy Knab.

Thinking of all of you as you say goodbye to your Mom. I want to thank you for the memories I have of her and your family. Your Mom taught me simple things like when to use the word weather vs whether (I always think of her when I use either of those words) to more complicated things like the amazing possibilities of the microwave oven! So many memories I cheerish. But, there is one I hope she forgot. One night she hired me to babysit. She came home to all five of you up and about and I was fast to sleep in the den! Your Mom was forgiving and even managed a smile when I asked her why you were all awake! Thank you Randy, Jamie, Kathy, Daniel and Stephen, the memories are priceless.

Memories of Falconer St. surely would be empty if not for Mrs. Carlson, her cases of Diet Rite soda and her big brood (ok not as big as ours). Even after we left and returned home for visits, she always showed genuine interest in the direction of our lives, listening and seemingly hanging on to our every word. We will miss her as we miss our own mom. Rest in peace Mrs. Carlson. With loving memories and sympathy to Randy Jamie, Daniel, Cathy and Stephen.
