A very fond memory for me was in '85 when Aunt Pat, Kaye, Martha & I drove to NJ on Memorial Day weekend to see the great horse Spend a Buck race in & win the Jersey Derby. We also swung by Atlantic City. It was a great time. I would ask Aunt Pat what horse she would want as I was the designated runner, she would reply "I will VOTE for #3". We would laugh, it was great hangin out, watching people, all that good stuff. She did tell me "I had a lead foot"lol

"It is always difficult to lose someone, no matter what your age." I'm sorry I won't be able to make the service she lived a good life and I think for the most part enjoyed her life with her singing and her theater. We all have an Aunt Pat memory or two and I hope you all enjoy sharing them and it helps you thru the grieving process. Love Kathy (Gorman) Elsener
