Dear Jim and family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Pat's passing. She was one of my best friends when we both lived in Sacramento, and you and the kids visited me in Seattle after I moved there. I tried numerous times to track her down in the years since then but wasn't "successful" until I found her obituary and it was too late. My condolences to you and her whole family. Pat was a dear person!
