To the Hines family, Love and prayers to all. Ms. Pat was so sweet, kind and giving. She made our high school days so memorable with our pajama parties and her guidance through those years. Class of 74 loved her so and she will be missed in all her wonderful activities she was so involved in during her life.
She is singing upstairs today in the angel choir.
