Larry, I see how you lost your mother. I know it must be difficult for you and the family. I went through it a number of years ago and it's not easy. I'm sure the class of '57 is behind you, supporting you at this time.

Dennis and family,
Your mother was a very special lady and I am amazed at how talented she was. She was very kind, soft spoken, and well liked. We sure will miss her here in the park. You, Dennis, and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. The best thing we have after a loved one passes are the pictures and memories. Cherish them all. Take Care and God Bless!

Just wanted to send my prayers to your family over your loss. I have not seen her for years but remember what a fun and great lady she was. I remember my Aunt Betty telling the story of how she came by the name of Pat. Betty, your mother Pat and Gertrude Kroeze were all in the same class in school and they all had the first name Gertrude so the teacher picked the name Betty for my Aunt, Pat for your mother and the names stuck after that. I am the grandson of Gert & Ed Kroeze. Bod Bless you all.

Dear Dennis and Family,
Even though I knew your Mom for a short time, her smile, her compassion, her warm hugs will always be remembered.
Pat was truly an inspiration.
My heart goes out to you during this time and in the days ahead.
May all your wonderful memories bring you comfort and peace.
God Bless!

I have very fond memories of all of Pat's family who have been so special to me and also my 5 sons What a great privelege to have been part of such a wonderfull family. Pat is the last remaining heir of a historic Cowlitz Indian family who were the original homesteaders of Sucia Island in our beauriful San Juan Islands. Love to you All, Betty Wiggins and Family
