My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who knew and loved Pat. I have known her most my life and she will always be in my heart. Words cannot express the sense of loss and how much she will be missed. Knowing she has found peace brings comfort. She will now be our angel with the beautiful blue eyes and that wonderful giggle. Glen and family you have my deepest sympathy.

I have so many great memories of Pat. Once at Gull Lake it was HOT and had rained and we had to stay on the cart paths. Glen had been hitting way off the path all day and finally just laid on the ground and said "come get me". Pat said "let him lay there and just kept driving the cart!! I never laughed so hard. Scott and Pat....enjoy your tee times together now.

When I read this obituary this morning it brought sadness but memories too. I first met Pat at Cedar Creek in the late 60's. I played golf there for many years. Later I met Glen and Tommy through the car business. When Glen and Pat hooked up it was an obvious perfect match. They always semmed so happy together. Glean, I am thinking of you all the way out here in Idaho. My sympathy to all of the family.
