My heartfelt sympathy in the loss of Pat. I worked with Ray at Unigard Insurance. I have Pat's recipe for Italian Spice Cookies which is used every year and I think of her when I make the cookies. She was a lovely person. Ruth Larson Morales

We are so very sorry for your great loss. Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers as you prepare to lay Pat to rest. She was such a marvelous mother-in-law to our Torie, and she raised such a fine husband and father (Chris) for our daughter and grandchildren. We are so grateful to her. May she rest in peace.
