Lauren and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Pat. For the few times I was around her, she was such warm and smiling person. I'll never forget the times Paul and her would stop by to shop or visit with Lauren at work. I could always tell that they were very proud of you Lauren!

Please call for anything Lauren. I have recently had a loss in the family and I know sometimes it helps to talk.

Paul, I just received the news from Dan Majkowski. I'm so sorry to hear we lost Pat - I know it's been a tough journey for all. I know she's with you now, giving you strength to get through this difficult time. I don't know if you realize, she was a positive influence for me when I joined HP. At the award events she was always the one who reached out and made me feel welcome among the ladies in the group. I remember her trying to teach me French when we were at the American Club many years ago, and after several attempts she suggested I take German. I'm currently in Dallas and will not be able to attend on Friday, but I hope you know my heart and thoughts will be with you and your family.
