My sister, Patricia Ann (Hedrick) Crary is so much more. Pat was my big sister and my confidant but also a strong loving mother, a wonderful aunt who taught my sons so much visiting in the summertime, and a super grandmother and a faithful loving wife. I will forever keep her safe in my heart until someday when we meet again as best friends. I will always love you sis and cherish our memories we have together.

I am glad to say that Pat always made me smile. I enjoyed working with her while an aide in Happy Valley Schools and seeing her around our community. Much love and prayers to her family.

I am so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to lose your Mom, no matter how old you are. I will miss seeing her at the pharmacy, take care and know that she is at peace and no longer in pain.

Dear Family of Pat, I enjoyed working at HV with your Mom. We shared books after retirement and she was so good about keeping me informed about all the "Girls". God bless all of you, you were her pride and joy. Gayle Billings
