I also went to Barlow with Patricia and remember her as a sweet and interesting girl. How sad to hear of her passing away. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

My prayers are with Patricia's family. I went to Keller and Barlow with her, and remember camping in the Riley's yard when we were girl scouts. She was a beautiful, smart, kind girl, and I'm sure she was an amazing mom. Special condolences to her parents and siblings, whom I remember fondly.
