Pat, I have fond memories of you and your Parents. Your dad was a fine man.
He was very proud of your family and loved all of you very much. I know this because he told me so himself many times over the years.
You have always been a great and loyal friend to my family. When I wonder how it is that you can be so generous a man, I realize the source must be your parents. Your father smiles on through you.
Mrs. C is in our prayers and we think of you all quite often. We know that your mom will find love and support with all of you.
Pat, Julie, Annette and Peter are a wonderful Legacy to your dad. You are a great family.
With love,
Mike and Korey Hinz
