I´m so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Pat for many years at Securian. I went to Cindy´s and Pat´s shower at the Buttery. Pat video taped our wedding. I know this is a difficult time especially losing them so close together. When you have a chance could you please let me know what happened. This is weighing heavy on my heart and it would help. Thank you.
