Always enjoyed talking with Pat-she had a great sense of humor and so proud of her children.

Deepest Sympathy to the Tolbert Family. One sweet lady that we got to know at the Horizon Child Care Center. Your Mom sure was proud of her two boys as you were growing up. Your names would always be included in our conversation during our meetings with her!! Joe & Sherry Huff
