Mr. Rice, I was saddened and shocked to hear the news this morning. My heart goes out to you and your family. Seeing Pat at NMCP was always a treat. Her smiling face and her constant support and love for you never ceased to amaze me. She was such a trooper. You are in my thoughts and prayers as always. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Mr. Bruce and family,
You are in our prayers, thoughts, and hearts. We will miss Ms. Pat very much. She was so very kind and had one of the sweetest spirits. Ms. Pat and I began to greet each other as "Howdy Neighbor."
Joseph and I enjoyed the 9 years being your next door neighbors. Thank you for being good neighbors and friends.

Vanessa, Penny and Mr. Rice,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of grief. I have such fond memories of your mom from staying the nights at your house years ago, and being so jealous she let you have a purple room!! I would occasionally run into her and your dad the past few years and she always remembered me and had something nice to say! Please know I am thinking about you and all your family during this time.
