Both my Max, The Love Dog (a therapy dog) and I fell in love with Ms. Pat. She was sweet, kind and gentle and he loved her petting him! In honor of her we will be dedicating our January visits to her so that her good life lived in joy will continue to bless others. The attached photo was taken for her and she told me she planned to give it to her family this Christmas--I hope it brings them comfort as they think of their special Christmas angel!
