Patsy, i just saw this notice today. I'll pass this this on to my mom and dad at the family ranch. We only knew your husband through you and i'd only talked to him a few times, but clearly, you were great together. There's nothing on this earth better than that. You and your family are most assuredly in our prayers. Thinking of you, Jack Barton Midland, Tx.
