Dearest Mark & Family: My friend Patty - so many wonderful memories..good food,good friends,wonderful golf games..Both she and your dad were very special to me..and so are you. Healing will take time. I miss my sisters but I know they are watching over me as your Mom and Dad watch over you. Patty was a true friend, one I did not see often after my move but was always there as a friend. When I visited we had lunch and just loved to chit-chat. Take one day at a time Mark and the healing will come. I am so glad you and John have remained life long friends. You were and always will be a part of our family. I will miss her. Much love...Shirley
