Mary Louise Pattillo

Another year passed. You are missed. I think if you often. Remembering just one of my favorite paintings of yours you called the little wildflowers. So beautiful. I can close my eyes and see it and see your beautiful smile as you are telling me about it. Oh lady as your landlord you would keep me on my toes. Trying to stop you from driving the last few years. Lord did I worry about you. It was my pleasure to have known you. RIP lovely. Shanon Sharp (Lindelof)

Wow miss Mary, I checked my email today and this beautiful remembrance of you. Funny how you think about someone and then boom you get a call, email or letter. I think of you often. You were a wonderful, wild, creative soul that I miss.

It was a great send off for Aunt Mary. To have so much family together was wonderful. 5 Strauhals, 4 Pattillos, 6 Rogers and all but one of the Williams made it a special event. Brad Fitterer, her friend Mike Pearson and Betsy Johnson honored us by coming. All the hard work paid off. God job Mike, Peggy and John Paul. And to Tim,Erin and Melody with Mackenzie for making the final road trip to bring her ashes home. What a blessing to have her legacy live on. The paintings I have will have so...

...it wont be something to forget. I am fortunate to have a family that would remember mom in such a way that I know she would be proud. The funeral mass had me in tears and it was for the thought of mom "going to the third level" and family who also loved her which brought tears of joy and wonderment to my eyes. I have a lot of images and some video to share soon.

Thanks also for the family reunion that included all that could make it there - it was awesome and I know Jaron was also...

Seeing everyone last weekend was a blessing..... I never imagined seeing everyone together. I have lots of great memories.

Thank you to everyone who attended these absolutely beautiful services the imagery is both powerful and everlasting. As grand daughter of Kittitas Valley pioneers, our mother would be so proud to have been honored in this way. And thank you St. Andrews and Father Tomas for escorting her spirit into heaven. Special thank you to our Veterans Ed Barry and Werner Hilleman, whose decisive action and dedication flawlessly provided transfer of Mary to be with family. She was never alone. And...

Hope you all have a safe trip home and it went so beautifully this week. Thank you all for making this so memorable and devoted.
