Ms. MacDonald and Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear about your father. I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Pat for several years at Pizza Hut. He had a great attitude and a even greater sense of humor. I can still remember his relentless pursuit of "Depression Glass". He would find pieces for next to nothing and resell them for a tidy profit. You and your family will be in our prayers...

Hi Jo!
Sorry I have been wrapped up at work and not made it by. I will definitely see you this evening and be there if you need anything, not just this week..but always. Your dad meant the world to me and only seems fitting to make sure you are ok...plus I love ya, girl! You know I'll miss his blue eyes and his "Igot you" statement. None of us knew him better than you though so anything I can do to help you....you better let me know.

Love,
Lainie
