So sorry for your loss. Pat and I were cousins. On the Hickson side. But not close. I was always going to call her and talk to her but something would come up and then it was to late like now. Cindy Wyatt Slaven
John,
I was sorry to hear about Pat. I first met her when I had taken something to Martha Belle. Your family will be in my prayers.
This news is very heart breaking for me, my brother Sam, & my sister Kandy. They were great neighbors and friends. Pat and her family were a big part of our early life.
May she rest in peace.
