We were sorry to learn of Pat's passing. For ten years we were Pat and Dick's neighbors on Old Stagecoach Road. We always enjoyed our conversations and regularly shared neighborhood news and watched out for each others' places while away. As parents ourselves, we always appreciated Pat's love of family and vivacious spirit. As we lost my Dad this year, we can relate to your loss and know that our loved ones live on in each of us.

To the Jarrett family, may the joys of Christmas mask the pain of your loss. Be strong in the face of adversity and remember the wonderful times you spent together as a family. Remember the love she had for you all....
Sincerely,
Ray and Leslie Schwerdt

My deepest sympathy to all of the Jarrett family in the loss of your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Pat was a very special person.
She touched so many lives as a volunteer with Mercy Guild. She served as Mercy Guild's President for three terms, I believe.
Her sense of humor,her sense of fair play,and her love of family, all define the woman she was.
Your parents are together again.
Please remember that your love and your memories do last forever.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Boese, Mercy Guild
