Something drew me to search for Patricia (Pat), and obviously realized of her passing 12 yrs ago, in December of 2010.
Pat's was the first family I babysat for in the early 70's.
I remember that she would do anything for her four beautiful daughters: Kristen, Kira, Karolyn and Erin. She always had a heart for those in need. She was warm and loving soul. Rest in Peace.

The Mom's of our friends hold a special place in our growth as people. Pat was a shining example of integrity, sacrifice and love. She touched more lives than she was aware of...she certainly touched mine.
