We just had our 50th class reunion last night and I was shocked to learn that Pat had passed away. I went to the 9th grade prom with her and always had a crush on her. I was overjoyed to see her at our 45th reunion, the first time I had seen her in 40 years. She was a sweet and special person.

Although I only knew Pat and Linda a short time, they both were very giving ladies. Pat always enjoyed her yard sales and always had little items for her little Amish friends walking home from school.
My thoughts and prayers for the families involved. She will be missed by so many.
