To Pat's Family.
We will always remember Pat for her white siberian irises. We planted them
along our pond and have given out many
cuttings to our friends. Her plants live on.
Our deepest sympathy.

John, Danny & Sally,
I'm so sorry to hear about Pat. I'll remember her with affection, all the years growing up; her laugh, bingo nights (when I got to play with Sally & Danny!) and most fun visiting in the snows of Albert Lea. May God bless you at this difficult time.
