Pat and other children of Martha and Otto Neilson,
Your mother was a person whose charm, intelligence and courage made her friendship a privilege for many, including my husband, Michael Saenz, and me.
Our thoughts and prayers are very much with you in sympathy at this time of loss, and also in gratitude for your mother's life.
We think of you often, Pat, with gratitude for the fine job you did preparing all the dresses for our daughter Cindy's wedding.
