Dear Ed, Marci and Family. Our prayers are with your family. I remember Pat as my favorite stage mom when Marci and I would sing together at Sparks Middle School. She was always will to help us with outfits, rides, and a smiling face to sing to.
Prayers again,

Dear Ed, Blaine, Marci, and Jeff,
I am so sorry for your loss. Pat was an amazing lady. When Marci and I were friends as little girls, she was always around, laughing, kind-hearted, and helping out at school. This continued throughout our friendship during middle school and high school. When I was in my early 20s (a long time ago!), my mom and I were able to reconnect with her by attending many of her craft classes through the City of Sparks Parks and Rec department. She was a truly wonderful woman, and I always thought about her and your family when I drove past the "old homestead" on Wedekind Road. It is very difficult to lose someone like her. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
