Yes, I agree...Anyone that ever met Aunt Pat surely would never forget her. I spent a good bit of time with her in my younger years which I truly enjoyed. However, It has been many years since I have seen her & I do hope those weren't too hard on her. For the years missed I am sorry. May God Bless & May She Rest in Peace. Just remember, you have a Guardian Angel looking down on you. Love;
