Thank you for all you have meant to me and my family. You were never just a neighbor.
You were Grandma Pat to my children, godmother to Elliot, my mentor in parenting, the friend with the gardens my family loved so much that we used your yard for all of our prom and homecoming pics.
I loved to sit on your porch with you and talk. You were the best listener! And you always had a fresh glass of iced tea ready for unexpected company.
You taught my family how to play dominoes. You even bought us our first and forever set!
There would never have been a time where losing you wouldn't leave us all with heavy hearts. But it happened so quickly! And I have to believe that you are at peace with Gayle. I imagine how beautiful that reunion must have been for you! And am thankful that your suffering has ended.
Thank you for giving us so many beautiful years of love!
