Dear Family: I am Pat's neighbor. How we met. Pat called me one day and asked if I was "Rocky's" mother. Rocky is my cat and he lost his collar at her house. That is how she got my phone number. Pat explained that Rocky would come down and play with her cats. She took great delight in watching Kona and Rocky play tag on her patio. I invited Pat to my home and we had a wonderful dinner. The time I went to visit Pat I personally viewed Kona and Rocky playing. Kona would always leave some food for Rocky to eat they were great friends.

Pat was an exceptional lady. She told me about her wonderful family, she was so proud. I just found out today that Pat died. I'm heartbroken. Now when I look at her home which I can see from my patio I remember her admiring her roses. I will miss Pat so much. And Rocky has been moping around since she not there and Kona is gone. I want to extend my sincere condolences to the family. She will be missed here in Sun City. God Bless. Linda Morrison
