Still hard to believe "Dodo" is gone. She was a dear friend during our high school years and I know she brought great joy into Pat's life. As one of her classmates, I can say that we all believe we'll live forever and I believe I can say with confidence... we will, but not on this earth as we know it... the memories and the soul will live forever... I know God has blessed her and we'll see her again when our time has come...
