Patricia was the very fist girl to befriend me when I started school at McKinley, she made my transition to that school easy because she introduced me to the other children. We remained friends for many years even tho we lost touch sometimes we would always reconnect. I will miss her but I am glad she will be with her mother now. My deepested symphathy to the entire family at this sorrowful time.
