PAT I KNEW PATSY AS PAT HERE AT THE FORUM AT MEMORIAL WOODS. I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT HERE ONLY ONE YEAR. WHEN I MOVED IN, PAT INTRODUCED ME TO THE OTHER RESIDENTS AND WAS ALWAYS CHEERFUL WITH A BEAMING SMILE AND A HEARTY HANDSHAKE. I NEVER MET ANYONE THAT LOVED TO SHAKE HANDS AS MUCH AS PAT COLEMAN. A REAL SOUTHERN BELLE.
