What a sad time. To lose such a gentle soul. Pat was so devoted and a role model for all of us on how to love. I remember Alisha's wedding day and how joyful and happy she was. Those are the memories to hold on to. Girls, let her legacy continue in your lives. She was so very proud of you. Our deepest sympathy, Ed. You cared for her with so much love.
