I just found Pat's obit when I was scrolling thru a Facebook memorial page. I am very sorry for your loss. Pat became a sort of mentor to me when I first started in the DHS marching band, giving me help with my flute and encouraging me in learning the piccolo. Now my own daughter is learning the flute, and I hope she finds an equally inspiring friend. I also remember winking at her and Laura on my way up the aisle when I got married some years later! My prayers are with the family at this difficult time. Meg (Gallatin) McGuire

When I think about Patricia, I think of her smile, her obvious love for Chris and her Mother and Daddy. Then, of course, she and good music are thought of at the same moment. I loved being able to accompany her when she would play her flute in the Cup and Saucer Sunday School Class. She always chose hymns that meant a lot to her Mother and Daddy. Weymond and I keep you in our prayers and send our love to you, Chris, and to you, Laura and Bill! Betty Dunn
